Re: For printing: Select the element preceded immediately by a page-break?

I was envisioning something like...

@media print {
   #some_div:after-page-break {
      background-color: #ff0;
      border: 1px solid #000;
      content: attr(data-header);
   }
}

<div id="#some_div" data-header="This is some static header for regions
that need a repeatable header element in print preview.">
  <!-- stuff -->
</div>
