When trying to print the modern style, I'm only getting a blank page with lines: https://imgur.com/a/MoGnf
Just hit Esc and try printing again. I had the same issue myself.

#12Where are word breaks (word splitting if not fit for page), justify alignment? Variable spaces between letters?
Is this possible with CSS? I'm trying to typeset a long text on the web and I'm not happy about how it looks compared to LaTeX and PDF. (it's straight out awful)

#13Wow, today I learned (via this) about: page-break-before: page-break-after: Did not know these were in CSS3 ! It's always worth poking around in others peoples code...
I don't think this is CSS3, it has been arround for ages ( you will be using this when convert html pages to pdf also ;) )
I recall using those in 2002 or somewhere around that time. :)

The problem with those, the last time i checked, was that most html to pdf solutions don't support them. The only one I could find was Prince ( https://www.princexml.com/ ) , which is commercial and rather pricey.
I'm pretty sure that wkhtmltopdf supported these too, last time I used it, though it's been quite a while now.

The CSS text module has some support for various text manipulations (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Text) but it's obviously not quite as extensive as LaTeX or InDesign or whatever.

And yet almost every time I try to print a page, it thinks it's ok to just split an image over two pages. It baffles me that this is the default.

dompdf supports this.

PhantomJS supports it too (either through `html-pdf` or manually).

There's a lot of nice things you can do in CSS for printing. I worked on a project to make web articles printable. The last version focused more on doing the printing via the browser using CSS for creating columns. Here's a video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=854Csokl3QA and some notes in our blog: http://blog.fivefilters.org/post/75603097111/pdf-newspaper-2...
The software itself is free to try at http://fivefilters.org/pdf-newspaper/
