Implementing page breaks in HTML report

Hi,
 
I am designing a BIRT report containing 20 rows and want to view the output as HTML. I want to have page break in the report containing 5 breaks 4 rows in each section and header repeated. Any suggestion on how to implement that. In a thread I saw that HTML does not support page break. Any suggestion please.

What version of BIRT? Commercial, or open source?
 
In commercial BIRT, I created the attached report setting a Page Break on the Table after 5 rows, and the Header repeated. Then, in the Designer, I viewed in HTML format, you'll see that page breaks are added in. I've included the final output (.htm) for reference. Internally, it performs a run and then render task.
 
Running the same report in open source BIRT Designer using /run and /preview, there are no page breaks and repeated headers because the 'runandrender' task does not support pagination. If you use /frameset (which uses separate run and render tasks), you won't be able to use the HTML only format. You won't be able to specify &__format=html like you can do with PDF &__format=pdf.
 
For open source, you'll need to roll your own run and then render to HTML if you want pagination. Or modify the base viewer.
