There's no support, for example, > for a page break PI in my DocBook stylesheets. Nevertheless, I'd like to know how to force a page break with the style language, e.g. triggered by a special empty element within an (non-DocBook) SGML document. The cleanest way would surely be to make individual simple-page-sequences for all the stuff between those pagebreak triggers. But this can be quite difficult to achieve. For a quick and dirty solution, I now simply insert a huge display-space at the point of the pagebreak, which gives (at least with JadeTeX) the desired result. Is there a better way to do this with the style language? PS: I know that explicit pagebreaks do not fit into the concept of structural markup, but for my application (making slides from SGML input) it seems appropriate to me. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | knipp | Knipp Medien und Kommunikation oHG ------- Technologiepark Martin-Schmeisser-Weg 9 D-44227 Dortmund Thomas Corte Fon: 0231-9703-0 thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fax: 0231-9703-200 DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
