The problem is using HTML to create pages with a stable size that would deal with bibliographical references, page breaks, different printers, etc.
Does anyone think it is possible to develop a decent tag like "div", but called "page" specially for this? Something that would make no use of CSS? Maybe something with attributes as follows:
{page size="A4" borders="2.5cm,2.5cm,2cm,2cm" page_numbering="bottomleft,startfrom0"} — You get the idea... {/page}
I guess you would not be able to tell when the page would be full, so the browser would have to be in charge of breaking the content into multiple pages when needed. Bibliographical references would probably need a special tag as well, positioned inside the tag..."
