How to separate a html text in order to print each part in individual pages?

Hello,
I am a novice/moderate html programmer and I wonder how to tell the
browser from which start point and to which end point in the text will
each page be printed.
In other words, I have a single html text that contains different
informations that are displayed alltogether in the same browser.
When I print this page, the browser should put each different subject
in a separate page and not having it all mixed up.
Is it possible? How should i do it?

Ps.: This text can't be divided in different html files, it is only one
html file.

Thanks in advance,
Marcel.

@media print {
h1 {
page-break-before: always;
}
}

will put cause each <h1> heading to start a new page.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/page.html for CSS properties for "paged
media".

You will need to investigate whether browsers actually implement these
properties.
