# A PDF document is a collection of pages. When we create a new document be it
# with <code>Document.new</code> or on a <code>Document.generate</code> block
# one initial page is created for us.
#
# Some methods might create new pages automatically like <code>text</code> which
# will create a new page whenever the text string cannot fit on the current
# page.
#
# But what if you want to go to the next page by yourself? That is easy.
#
# Just use the <code>start_new_page</code> method and a shiny new page will be
# created for you just like in the following snippet.

require_relative '../example_helper'

filename = File.basename(__FILE__).gsub('.rb', '.pdf')
Prawn::ManualBuilder::Example.generate(filename) do
  text "We are still on the initial page for this example. Now I'll ask " \
    'Prawn to gently start a new page. Please follow me to the next page.'

  start_new_page

  text "See. We've left the previous page behind."
