Pagebreaks in Pageblock(table)

I've made a résumé to render as a word document and I got a specific problem. I call the job history witth apex and show this in a visualforce table. Problem I have here is that this table gets shown on a new page and only on that page. So if the information is larger then one page, some of the data is not shown.

Does anybody know how to insert pagepreaks into the pageblock(table)?
  
APEX:

public class relatedCV {
        public mployee__MF_Recruitment_Candidate__c can;
        public relatedCV(ApexPages.StandardController sc) {
            this.can = (mployee__MF_Recruitment_Candidate__c)sc.getRecord();
        }

        public list<mployee__candidatePosition__c> getWorks(){
           return [SELECT Name, Id, mployee__companyName__c, mployee__title__c, mployee__summary__c, mployee__startDateYear__c, mployee__endDateYear__c, Werkzaamheden__c FROM mployee__candidatePosition__c WHERE mployee__Candidate__c =:can.id];
        }

        
    }

Hi, 

Try using 

<div style="page-break-before: always" />

Will move everything that appears after this DIV onto the next page.


There are also other similar page-break properties; you can see how they all work here.

https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/p/page-break/

If you need to have page breaks in the text that is displaying in an apex:pageblocktable. 

Then you can use something like this.

Try <apex:column><apex:outputText value="{!br}" escape="false" /></apex:column> in your VF page.

Hope this helps you!

If this helps you please mark it as BestAnswer so that it will make available for others as a proper solution.

Thanks and Regards
