CSS supports 'page-break-inside' property which define whether a page break
is allowed inside a specified element or not, also max/min height can be
used for pagination, but taking into consideration that the overflow of
long notes will either be trimmed or will expand the dive to more printing
area and in this case we can't ensure to have N dives per page (this can be
something like flow layout).
So as I expect yes we can control this easily.
