When you say page, you mean a printed page on paper?

Can't that be helped with some of live preview options for a pdf or ps
or latex format? Auctex maybe? Or maybe some of org -> pdf/ps + DocView?

Or couldn't it be possible to define some html+css to model A4 paper
size, for example:

https://codepen.io/rafaelcastrocouto/pen/LFAes

and use some of live preview options for html (eww or browseurl or
something else)? Not a wysiwyg directly, but kind-of middle ground?
