After creating the codesandbox, I have developed a webapp that heavily relies on user input. To keep it simple for demonstration purposes, I am displaying various authors on an A4 formatted page using `page` and `font-size` with the `vw` unit for responsiveness.
In the codesandbox example, you can see that the last few authors are getting cut off from the page because they do not fit inside the container anymore. I want to detect content exceeding the page boundaries and generate a second identical A4 page to display that overflowed content.
Currently, in my webapp, I have applied `overflow: scroll;` to the page container div where all the content is placed to make it somewhat presentable. However, this is not ideal from a User Experience standpoint, and I am looking to enhance the experience.
I am unsure where to begin, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
