Page break in imported tagged text?

Im preparing tagged text for importing into InDesign, but I can't get page breaks to work. As a test, I put a page break in a text document and exported as tagged text, and the page break was rendered as:

<cnxc:Page>

But using that in a file I'm importing doesn't result in a page break. Thoughts?

I recommend not to import or insert any page or column break.

Make those breaks as part of the Paragraph Style > Break Options. This allows more flexibility.

For those who read this later, it's not "Break Options", but "Keep Options". The last setting, "Start Paragraph:" defaults to "Anywhere" but can be changed to "Next page" or several other choices. This wasn't exactly an answer to my question (I agree with the recommendation in general and am a big fan of using styles, but in the workflow of this particular project, a literal page break would have been fine and even a little simpler), but since no one answered that (perhaps it's not possible on import but only export), I did end up implementing it with a special paragraph style as suggested.
