- CHAPTER OPTIONS
- --disable-chapter-detection
Prevent the automatic detection chapters.
- --chapter-regex
The regular expression used to detect chapter titles. It is searched for in heading tags (h1-h6). Defaults to chapter|book|appendix
- --chapter-attr
Detect a chapter beginning at an element having the specified attribute. The format for this option is tagname regexp,attribute name,attribute value regexp. For example to match all heading tags that have the attribute class="chapter" you would use "h,class,chapter". You can set the attribute to "none" to match only on tag names. So for example, to match all h2 tags, you would use "h2,none,". Default is $,,$
- --page-break-before-tag
If html2lrf does not find any page breaks in the html file and cannot detect chapter headings, it will automatically insert page-breaks before the tags whose names match this regular expression. Defaults to h[12]. You can disable it by setting the regexp to "$". The purpose of this option is to try to ensure that there are no really long pages as this degrades the page turn performance of the LRF. Thus this option is ignored if the current page has only a few elements.

Force a page break before tags whose names match this regular expression.
- --force-page-break-before-attr
Force a page break before an element having the specified attribute. The format for this option is tagname regexp,attribute name,attribute value regexp. For example to match all heading tags that have the attribute class="chapter" you would use "h,class,chapter". Default is $,,$
