Thank You! (I presume these go in ERT boxes???) The logic of \frontmatter identifying the part of a book that appears before the \mainmatter makes me wonder if there is also something like an \backmatter designation for any parts of a book that may appear after the last chapter??? > There are also ways to strongarm the page number -- I do this a lot in > the front matter of the book, but NEVER NEVER NEVER in the main matter. Agreed, if by main matter you mean the part of the "book" from the first, through the last chapter, I'd find it disturbing for the page numbers to be anything but consecutive throughout it. Though the unconventional side of my personality would find it reasonable for some creative work to be presented as a collection of chapter/books with each chapter numbered separately... But then I'd hope that each page would be marked with a chapter id as well as a page number... But in any normal book I'd be very uncomfortable with inconsistent page numbering... -- | ~^~ ~^~ | <*> <*> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | \___/ <<[email protected]>>
