 Create pagebreaks in exported Obsidian PDFs.

 Example:

 # Heading 1
 
 Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. 
 Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, 
 when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type 

 ## Heading 2 (pagebreak before this)

 Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. 
 Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, 
 when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type

@media print {

  h3,

  /* use double <hr> ('---') to indicate a page break */
  hr + hr {
    page-break-before: always;
    visibility: hidden;
  }

  :not(hr) + hr {
    visibility: hidden;
  }

  :not(hr) + hr + :not(hr):not(h2) {
    border-top: 1px solid black;
    padding-top: 2em;
  }
}

Whoa man, this is freakin' awesome! 🤩

Thanks @liamcain !

Very useful snippet!
One suggestion:

I changed the first block to

:not(h1) + h2 {
    page-break-before: always;
}

to prevent h2 from creating a page break if no text other than its parent heading comes before it. Useful if you have chapters without introduction text.

This is great thank you!

It doesn't avoid page breaks after h3, h4. I've been looking for a solution everywhere with no luck. Do you have an idea?

h3,
h4 {
  page-break-after: avoid;
}

I have the same problem as @PaulMndn, it doesn't avoid page breaks after headings.

This was really useful. Thanks! I added one to mine for H1, but having it skip the first one:

h1:not(:first-of-type) {
    page-break-before: always;
  }
