Do you intend to handle content that doesn't fit within the specified page size, i.e. let it roll on to next page? Or let it stretch the div and break the A4/A3 page size as it does currently?

I guess you'd need JS to handle the content rollover.

Thanks for your comment!

The current behaviour is definitely a shortcoming and not intended. Nothing should break the pages by stretching "div" elements.

As soon as I know how to fix this, I will definitely do this. Clean pure-CSS solutions are preferred, of course, but if we need JS, we'll have to use it.
