HI,
sorry if I didn't express myself correctly. If we define a marker or command, #+PAGEBREAK for the sake of an example,
then this can be used to produce split HTML files. In other contexts, for example LaTeX, text and maybe ODT, this would be
more or typesetting, in the sense that they would produce something (the FF character for text or the \clearpage command
for LaTeX) that is then shown as the text following the command starting at the beginning of a new page in the typeset output
(and hence my use of the word 'typesetting').
I assume the visual effect being the same, i.e. a forced beginning at a new page.
Best, /PA
