[enhancement] Page breaks

[jdcrecur]

This package is REALLY good, and works like a charm!

Our use case is we are printing reports from a database into word files. We ask the client to produce their own tpl file, upload to our system, they can then choose to create a batch of reports using the said tpl file.

Each docx file produced typically includes a cover sheet followed by a loop which iterates on average 20 times. The client requires that each loop be printed on a single page which would basically result in 1 cover page followed by 20 subsequent pages, 1 for each loop iteration.

To achieve this, the opening loop tag starts at the top of a page and we then ask the client to enter the content for each loop followed by a page break with the closing tag at the top of the subsequent page in the tpl.

This is a working solution, but is not ideal and for the non-tech savy they are finding this difficult to grasp. It can also result in a trailing empty page at the end of the produced document.

It would be great if the loop could have some attributes attached to dictate this eg:

{#data_loop occupy-full-page}
Date: {date}

Incident: 
{incident_report}

Reporter: {reporter_name}

{/data_loop}

With something like occupy-full-page attribute this could instruct the loop to essentially place a page break at the end of the loop automatically meaning each loop iteration would start at the top of a new page each time, or in other words have the affect of occupying a full page, even if the report did not fill the full page.

Yes that issue is indeed a real problem.

It has already been reported in #182, so I'm closing this one. Everything that if are the {# is given to the angular parser so I don't want to add anything after the {#.

Ah I did look, but did not see this one.
