I am writing to a text file and am curious if it is possible to create page breaks in a text file. I have also found that the WLN> command writes to a html format. Is is possible to inserts page breaks into the html as it gets created?

WriteLine just writes characters to an ANSI text file, no formatting is done. If you are seeing HTMLL format it may be because you are looking at the file that is already an HTML document, or you are looking at the file in a HTML editor.
If you are writing to an HTML file, then you can write where ever you want a line break. HTML files do not recognize the normal %LF% or %CR% characters.
There is no HTML code for page breaks. But you can use cascading style sheets, it is possible to give the web browsers a "hint" to help them put page breaks where you want them. Here is an example:
This will force a page break when printing, before the start of this particular element. But, not all web browsers support CSS perfectly. If you use PDF vs. HTML, then you will have more control over layout control and printing.
