What is the page break code for html.

Can you tell me more basic html codes like paragraph, title codes for headers and chapters to be used in formatting for kindle e-book.

Kindle uses a custom tag for page breaks since standard HTML page breaks won't work reliably. Here's the breakdown for Kindle-specific formatting and some basic HTML codes:

Page Break:

Use the <mbp:pagebreak/> tag to insert a page break at that point in your code.

Basic Formatting:

Paragraph: Use the <p> tag to define a paragraph. You can add multiple <p> tags to create separate paragraphs.

Headers: Use heading tags (<h1> to <h6>) to define different header levels. <h1> is the largest and most important heading, while <h6> is the smallest.

Chapters: While there's no specific tag for chapters, you can achieve a chapter break by combining heading tags and page breaks:

Use an <h1> or <h2> tag for the chapter title.

Directly after the chapter title, insert the <mbp:pagebreak/> tag to force a page break after the title.

Here's an example combining these elements:

HTML

<h1>Chapter 1: Introduction</h1>

<mbp:pagebreak/>

<p>This is the first paragraph of Chapter 1. You can add more paragraphs and other content here.</p>

<h2>Section 1.1</h2>

<p>This is content within a section of Chapter 1.</p>

Use code with caution.

Additional Tips:

Keep it simple: Avoid complex HTML formatting for Kindle ebooks.

Use stylesheets (CSS) for font styles and margins if needed, but be aware of limited CSS support on Kindles.

Preview your ebook using the Kindle Previewer tool (https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G202131170) to see how it will look on Kindle devices.
