I'm starting to wonder if you read the docs :) The purpose of the <beginpage> element is documented here: http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/beginpage.html "The break identified by BeginPage may be displayed in an online version of the document or used for legacy purposes, but it is not expected to cause a page break when the document is processed by an SGML system." I guess that's maybe not the best-worded explanation, but the what it means to say is that BeginPage is not intended for forcing a page break in output from a document. It's for marking up where a page break occurred in whatever original document (if any) was converted to the DocBook source it appears in. It probably would have been better named LegacyPageBreak or something. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://www.w3.org/People/Smith/ _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
