I want to force a page break in the middle of a chapter,
Oh? Why is that? If it's because you want some content *following* the
page-break to be entirely presented on a sequence of pages, wouldn't it be
more convenient to have a grouping element?
I'm only asking because, while I never found myself wishing for such a
thing, more than one coworker has approached me with questions about
pagebreaks.
Personally, I find the 'grouping' approach to much more naturally follow the
hierarchical structure of the document. It also seems like a good
formatting tool might be able to perform much more optimal layout, with
grouping information, than with explicit page-breaks. There's also nothing
to say that these grouping elements can't be nested.
...however, perhaps you just want top-level sections to start a new page,
for example. If that's the case, you can already do that.
