printing envelops from perl

[joe]

Does anyone know if it is possible to print envelopes using cgi
scripts in a web browser? Can the web browser read page breaks?
Thanks.

No, there are no page breaks in HTML.

For printing, you can get close with a CSS definition like this:

HR {
page-break-after: always;
}

So yes, many a web browser can read page breaks.

I've done this before (the page breaks). I usually use the H1 tag and
a page break before it, that way H1 is the header for the next page.

Sometimes, depending on your printer drivers and other factors, you can
make a text file with ^L characters and they'll make a new page.

Otherwise, PDF and/or PostScript are your best bet for consistent
output. HTML simply has no rigid control of visual output.
