Splitting blocks across pages with asciidoctor-pdf

AndreaC
Hello,

I'm rendering some technical documentation which has some code blocks and some blockquotes. Those blocks are maybe half a page long, and would not fit in their current page, thus a page-break is inserted and the blocks start on a new page leaving the first one half empty. Is there an option I can use that allows splitting such blocks across pages?

Thanks,

.a.c.

No, this is just how Asciidoctor PDF works right now. It tries to make the block fit on a page by itself and only splits it if it doesn't fit on a single page.

I suppose it's reasonable that we not try to keep block quotes together by default. Perhaps this feature should only be enabled when the unbreakable option is present on the block.

Hi Dan, thanks for your answer,

I would personally say it makes sense if it's not too hard to implement.

Asciidoctor is great: keep up the good work!
