# paginationBreakingMode

The manner in which column- or page-breaking occurs.

```
var paginationBreakingMode: UIWebView.PaginationBreakingMode { get set }
```

## Discussion

This property determines whether certain CSS properties regarding column- and page-breaking are honored or ignored. When this property is set to [`UIWebView.PaginationBreakingMode.column`](/documentation/UIKit/UIWebView/PaginationBreakingMode-swift.enum/column), the content respects the CSS properties related to column-breaking in place of page-breaking.

See [`UIWebView.PaginationBreakingMode`](/documentation/UIKit/UIWebView/PaginationBreakingMode-swift.enum) for possible values. The default value is [`UIWebView.PaginationBreakingMode.page`](/documentation/UIKit/UIWebView/PaginationBreakingMode-swift.enum/page).
