We are migrating CKEditor issue tracking to GitHub. Please, use GitHub to report any new issues.
The former tracking system (this website) will still be available in the read-only mode. All issues reported in the past will still be available publicly and can be referenced.
Important: we decided not to transfer all the tickets to GitHub, as many of them are not reproducible anymore or simply no longer requested by the community.
If the issue you are interested in, can be still reproduced in the latest version of CKEditor, feel free to report it again on GitHub.
At the same time please note that issues reported on this website are still taken into consideration when picking up candidates for next milestones.
To report a new issue, go to https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev/issues and follow the instructions in the issue template.

Hi,
With CKEditor - is it possible to have pages displayed (and page breaks) as you create content? Basically like Google docs.
This is very useful to ensure the content prints nicely.
Thanks, Chad
It's impossible to achieve this in HTML and CSS right now. There's a crucial difference between Google Docs and CKEditor (and other popular browser WYSIWYG editors). Google doesn't use HTML contenteditable element as we. They almost "draw" the content on the canvas, so they have full control on what we see. We are basing on browsers which render the content as a normal web page. And as rendering printing pages isn't possible for normal web sites, it is not for us.
But remeber that you can always insert page breaks (using button in toolbar) and see preview of the content of the editor (thus see print preview that is provided by the browsers).
I'm closing this issue, cause I'm predicting that for years (if ever) it won't be possible to implement robust in-editor print preview. And even if one day CSS and HTML will allow that, I'm not sure if we'll implement this, cause CKEditor is web pages editor, not documents editor.
