Prevent page break in paragraphs using HTML

page-break-inside and page-break-after styles can be applied to avoid page breaks in paragraph contents when importing HTML. The following sample illustrates both styles in a paragraph that contains a paragraph and a list:

$html = '
<p>A content (no page break style applied)</p>
<p style="page-break-inside: avoid; page-break-after: avoid;">Some text</p>
<ol>
    <li style="page-break-inside: avoid; page-break-after: avoid;">Item 1</li>
    <li style="page-break-inside: avoid; page-break-after: avoid;">Item 2</li>
</ol>
<p>More content (the page-break-after from the previous li tag is applied to this content)</p>
<p>Other content (no page break style applied)</p>
';
$docx->embedHTML($html);

Internal or external CSS can be used to apply the same styles:

$html = '
<style>
.avoidpb, ol > li {
    page-break-inside: avoid; page-break-after: avoid;
}
</style>
<p>A content (no page break style)</p>
<p class="avoidpb">Some text</p>
<ol>
    <li>Item 1</li>
    <li>Item 2</li>
</ol>
<p>More content (the page-break-after from the previous li tag is applied to this content)</p>
<p>Other content (no page break style applied)</p>
';
$docx->embedHTML($html);

It is also possible to use custom styles.
