I have been having issues with page breaks in tables. Thought I had a solution as it was working fine in this SO question:
Inserting a page break into of <table> in React app
This worked fine for a table with one column, but nowt that I am working with multiple columns, it is a mess.
Basically I have to include display: block to get the page break to work properly, but that makes it go from a well formatted table to this:
I have gone down the list in MDN just trying anything that might work.

Furthermore, page breaks are only working when on their own separate Got this sorted out by moving the <tr> which is undesirable since it generates a blank page.pagebreak to the <tr> instead of the <td>.
I haven't been able to resolve these issues; any suggestions on how to approach this problem?
Not sure how useful a JSFiddle will be given the printing issue, but here is the compiled HTML. I can never get JSFiddle working with React:

Best would probably be the Github repo:

Here is the code separately:
import React, { Component } from 'react'; import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'; import styles from '../assets/scss/app.scss'; class PageBreakIssues extends Component { // Render the data points renderDataPoint() { let dataPoint = []; for (let i = 1; i <= 3; i++) { let num = (Math.random() * 100).toFixed(2); dataPoint.push( <td className='data-point' key={ i }> { num < 25 ? null : num } </td> ) } return dataPoint; } // Start generating the row data renderDataRow() { let dataRow = []; for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) { dataRow.push( <tr key={ i }> <td className='data-name' colSpan='3' key={i}>Test - { i }</td> { this.renderDataPoint() } </tr> ) } return dataRow; } // Start generating table sections with the section name // COMMENT THIS OUT TO TRY WITOUT ADDING A BLANK ROW renderSections() { let sections = []; for (let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { sections.push( <tbody key={ i }> <tr key={ i }> <td colSpan='7' className='section-name' key={i} > Section - { i } </td> </tr> { this.renderDataRow() } { i % 2 === 0 ? <tr className='pagebreak'> <td colSpan='7'></td> </tr> : null } </tbody> ) } return sections; } // Start generating table sections with the section name // UNCOMMENT THIS SECTION TO TRY WITHOUT INSERT BLANK TR // renderSections() { // let sections = []; // for (let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { // sections.push( // <tbody key={i}> // <tr key={i}> // <td colSpan='7' className={ i % 2 === 0?

I faced similar problem before, as can't find any solution from net, I come up with a somehow hard-coding method.
Please take this as fallback, if no other available solutions are posted before your deadline.
You need to put back the page-break to tbody and make it as following.
HTML:
... </tbody> <tbody class="pagebreak"> <tr> <td colspan="7"></td> </tr> </tbody> <tbody> ... SCSS
@media print { thead { display:table; width: 100%; th{ text-align: center; padding: 3px 10px; } } tbody { display:block; } .pagebreak { height:0px; break-before: always !important; page-break-before: always !important; page-break-inside: avoid !important; } } My method's main idea is changing tbody to display:block (as usual), but adding the .pagebreak to target tbody as well.
However, this method unattach tbody from the table and thus no longer align with thead. That's why I need to add back padding: 3px 10px; to thead so as to simulate the cell size of tbody
The whole working example based on your code is quite long, so I put in a JSfiddle.
