Re: [docbook-apps] thinking about sections, sub-sections and pagebreaks


Hi Robert,

Robert P. J. Day schrieb:

  now, semantically, it is sometimes reasonable to have the text
immediately following a Major section represent some kind of lead-up or
intro to the upcoming subsections, and that's what would appear on that
first page:

  <s><t>Major section</t>
   <p> ... some intro here to lay the groundwork for the subsections
    to follow ...
   </p>
----- page break here, which would be acceptable -----
   <s><t>Subsection 1</t>
   ...
  </s>

but it's not always appropriate to do this -- there may not be anything
you want to say before the first subsection -- you just want to get right
down to business and you're back where you started.

The books I know don't do a pagebreak for the scenario above.


I think what you want is:
- do a pagebreak before every level 1 section
- do a pagebreak before every other section, unless it's the first in its hierarchy level


Regarding the stylesheet customization, some other kind soul has to help you on this.

Good luck,
Patrick
