Hello,

I tried to produce a printout of plain text document with gedit but it's
impossible to insert page breaks.

0x0c is the standard character for page break in plain text but gedit
ignores it.

Thanks

Michal

I have not looked at gedit source code, but if it is written with Qt as
many things are these days, the bug is in Qt.

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-21279?jql=text%20~%20%22formfeed%22

I noticed the exact same behavior between gedit and a program I was
developing with Qt. You can load the same text file in Libre Office and
it will respect the formfeed character both in display and print.
