Currently, when trying to print a report where there are more table records than a single page can contain, the table will be split across multiple pages. The split occurs at whatever point reaches the bottom margin, which predictably happens in the middle of a table row and splits its contents across two pages (example shown below).
I would like to modify this functionalitysuch that when reaching the bottom margin, a break always happens between records instead.
Following report template is used for the final print. The portion of code which indicates the main report table is encircled by xml comments

You can loop the records, specify how many lines one page should contain then use
<p style="page-break-before:always;"> </p>
when the counted line reach the maximum lines you specified.
