Adding a pagebreak by indesign scripting

Question

I have a routine which reads an XML file and builds an ID document. How do I create a page break by adding to the current insertionPoint? I tried it with

story.insertionPoints.lastItem().contents += SpecialCharacters.pageBreak;

but those special characters seem to apply only to XML. What is the alternative? - I'm using ID CS5.

Answer 1

I got the answer elsewhere. The trick is to use the assignment instead of the concatenation operator:

story.insertionPoints.lastItem().contents = SpecialCharacters.pageBreak;

Answer 2

Looking at the InDesign JS API documentation, it's actually:

story.insertionPoints.lastItem().contents = SpecialCharacters.PAGE_BREAK;
