* There is no generally supported page-break element in the
reStructuredText markup language.
* You can configure page-breaks at certain elements (e.g. before level-1
sections) in the custom style sheets.
Custom style sheets are writer dependent, so it matters, whether you
use rst2latex, rst2newlatex, or the rst2pdf extension.
With rst2latex:
* Page breaks before top-level sections are the default with a
documentclass that provides "chapters", e.g. "book", "memoir" or
"scrbook".
* Redefining the \section or \section* command in a
style sheet is possible too.
* `Raw latex` can be used::
.. raw:: latex
\newpage % hard pagebreak at exactly this position
or
.. raw:: latex
\pagebreak[2] % recommended page break after line end (precedence 1...4)
* The transition element can be re-defined to produce a page break,
e.g.
in a style sheet::
\newcommand*{\DUtransition}{\pagebreak[4]}
or in the document::
.. raw:: latex
\renewcommand*{\DUtransition}{\pagebreak[4]}
(The redefining of the transition element requires a recent snapshot of
the Docutils and might not (yet) work with Sphinx.)
