9. Quick troubleshooting

What you seeLikely causeWhat to try
Text hanging off the pageOverflow into a third CSS column, or a missing \pageAdd a page break; shorten the column; move a tall block
\page does nothingIt is not alone at the start of a linePut it on its own line
Right column emptyNo overflow and no \columnInsert \column where the right-hand section should start
Stat block looks like a noteMissing {{monster,frame (V3) or snippet not insertedRe-insert the PHB monster snippet
Table crushedTable is in a single columnWrap in {{wide ... }}
PDF missing backgroundsPrint dialog dropped background graphicsTurn Background graphics on, margins none, letter, 100%
PDF differs from HTML around wideRare browser column bug, or \column directly above {{widePrefer Chrome; avoid a hard column break immediately before a wide block
Contents page numbers disagree with the folioToC generated before skip/restart, or not regeneratedFix numbering snippets, then run Table of Contents again

You are not expected to get the first page perfect. Adjust \page and \column the way you would nudge frames in a desktop publisher.
