Another situation may appear when having a forced break inside the overflow of an element and another after the element. What break is applied first? The one in the overflow or the one after the element. I'd say it's the one in the overflow. After the break is applied you have to finish the layout of the element's content and then go back in the previous container to apply the break after the element. The layout will continue inside the next container as well, right? What hppens if the element doesn't have an after break? Does the layout fills the initial fragment container and then continues in the next one or does it start directly in the next one because there was a break in the overflow? Thanks, Andrei.
