page break in R Markdown PDF document

[Bonnie Dixon]

While working on getting this R Markdown PDF document to look good, another question has come up.  Does anyone know how to create a page break?  

Here is what the instructions say:

Horizontal Rule / Page Break

Three or more asterisks or dashes:

******

------

But I find that any combination of three or more asterisks or dashes that I try produces a horizontal rule, and I cannot figure out how to get a page break.

Depending on exactly how you're making the PDF, this should work:

\pagebreak

It's actually a LaTeX command, rather than a Markdown one, but most of the markdown-to-pdf engines I've seen use LaTex and will accept it.

Another possibility:

<div style="page-break-after: always;"></div>

Yes, the LaTeX command worked.  The html command did not.  Thanks, guys!
