Take a look at TextEdit's MultiplePageView. You can insert a formfeed (\f) character into it and it will cause a page break.

While, empirically, I know this is true (as I've inserted a form feed and seen the page break) I, for the life of me, cannot figure out how this is accomplished. It certainly doesn't happen in in MutiplePageView. That only maps rects to already existing text views, near as I can tell. I don't see any processing that looks for formfeed and creates a new "page" (in this case, a text view) for it.

Is this done automatically by the layout manager? Reading between the lines of the TextEdit example makes me think that it might be the case that, if presented with multiple containers that it must flow text for, the layout manager might interpret a \f as a sign to "skip to the next container". I can't find any documentation on this, though. Can anyone confirm that's what's supposed to happen?
