Is it possible to prevent a page break during printing so that <g> svg tags are not broken, but transferred to the next page?

page-break-inside: avoid works well with the div display: inline-block .
But when I apply the same styles to g tag, then this element is broken, and not transferred to the next page.

    SVG does not support autotransference of words, as it happens in HTML

    But you can get around this limitation by using the foreignObject command , which embeds a piece of HTML code in the SVG.

    An example is taken from the link:

     <svg viewBox="0 0 200 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <style> polygon { fill: black } div { color: white; font:18px serif; height: 100%; overflow: auto; } </style> <polygon points="5,5 195,10 185,185 10,195" /> <!-- Common use case: embed HTML text into SVG --> <foreignObject x="20" y="20" width="160" height="160"> <!-- In the context of SVG embeded into HTML, the XHTML namespace could be avoided, but it is mandatory in the context of an SVG document --> <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed mollis mollis mi ut ultricies. Nullam magna ipsum, porta vel dui convallis, rutrum imperdiet eros. Aliquam erat volutpat. </div> </foreignObject> </svg>

    You can also use the D3js library to transfer words .

    Here is an example :

     <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/d3/3.4.11/d3.min.js"></script> <body> <script src="//d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js"></script> <script> var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg") .attr("width", 960) .attr("height", 500); svg.append("foreignObject") .attr("width", 480) .attr("height", 500) .append("xhtml:body") .style("font", "14px 'Helvetica Neue'") .html("<h1>An HTML Foreign Object in SVG</h1><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
