Yes. And I'm reasonalbly certain it can be done in Geany. The key would be finding a way to insert a form feed character at the bottom of each page. That shouild work for printing. If youi intend to display your project electronically, we'd need to know how (with what software) you iintend to present it. If you intend to use HTML, I'm fairly certain there is a form feed or page break type markup that will start a new page. From a quick google search: ' https://www.asciihex.com › character › control › 12 › 0x0C › ff-form-feed ASCII character FF - Form Feed. ^L. Dec: 12, Bin: 00001100, Hex: 0C Form feed is an ASCII control character, which breaks the page. It makes the printer to throw out the current page and then to keep on printing at the top of another any. It will also cause a carriage return in many cases. The definition of form feed character code is 12 (0xC in hexadecimal). It also may be represented as control+L or ^L. ' Maybe someone else will know how to enter a form feed character in Geany (or if it is possible). -- rhk (sig revised 20221206) If you reply: snip, snip, and snip again; leave attributions; avoid HTML; avoid top posting; and keep it "on list". (Oxford comma (and semi-colon) included at no charge.) If you revise the topic, change the Subject: line. If you change the topic, start a new thread. Writing is often meant for others to read and understand (legal documents excepted?) -- make it easier for your reader by various means, including liberal use of whitespace (short paragraphs, separated by whitespace / blank lines) and minimal use of (obscure?) jargon, abbreviations, acronyms, and references. If someone has already responded to a question, decide whether any response you add will be helpful or not ... A picture is worth a thousand words. A video (or "audio"): not so much -- divide by 10 for each minute of video (or audio) or create a transcript and edit it to 10% of the original. A speaker who uses ahhs, ums, or such may have a real physical or mental disability, or may be showing disrespect for his listeners by not properly preparing in advance and thinking before speaking. (Remember Cicero who did not have enough time to write a short missive.) (That speaker might have been "trained" to do this by being interrupted often if he pauses.) A radio (or TV) station which broadcasts speakers with high pitched voices (or very low pitched / gravelly voices) (which older people might not be able to hear properly) disrespects its listeners. Likewise if it broadcasts extraneous or disturbing sounds (like gunfire or crying), or broadcasts speakers using their native language (with or without an overdubbed translation). A person who writes a sig this long probably has issues and disrespects (and offends) a large number of readers. ;-) '
