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.
PhantomJS supports it too (either through `html-pdf` or manually).
Wow, 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...
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://fiv…

Checkout https://docraptor.com/ - it's great - is commercial but affordable.

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 ;) )
*Maybe publishers that don't want to be locked in with a single formatting tool (indesign)

What is it useful for? I saw someone on medium saying they would pay for software that turns his posts into a book but more than that?
It uses the same formatting for all articles and adds columns. It's not a CSS framework like Gutenberg, the one posted here, which is intended for publishers to make their own content more printer friendly. PDF Newspaper tries to extract the relevant article content from any given page and then apply its own standard formatting on that and make it printable with our own printer stylesheet.
When trying to print the modern style, I'm only getting a blank page with lines: https://imgur.com/a/MoGnf
Where 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)
CSS Text 4 drafts might bring massive improvements for text handling and will give more fine grained controls over hyphenation, such as `hyphenate-limit-lines` (https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#hyphenate-line-limits), but obviously this is nothing that will make it to stable browsers in the near future. Still, the changes that might come for CSS with this draft would bring it a lot closer to LaTeX or InDesign.

Browser inserted Soft-Hyphens could fix this, but since they are language dependent browser support is spotty: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/hyphens#Sugges...
By itself most browsers can break soft-hyphens pretty reliable, but they have to be generated first: See https://github.com/mnater/Hyphenator or https://github.com/bramstein/hypher

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.
Printing can be quite a faf from web pages.
