My intention was not to implement yet another document generation
language, but I understand that HTML is not enough for nicely
formated docs. A pagebreak tag is essential for good formating.

I am not sure. If the number of 'extra' attributes required for decent
formating is not large then we can add them as extra tags (definetely
pagebreak is one of them. Even TeX with its advanced layout algorithms
still gets pagebreaks wrong occasionally. 

What do you think? I need to get some feedback and then I will add them in
the next release.

and yes *please* send your patches to me:
