["Michael Spencer" <MSpencer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have used <beginpage/> and then added the following to my custom print dsl
file.

<!-- Get beginpage to throw a new page -->
(element beginpage
      (make simple-page-sequence
	page-n-columns: %page-n-columns%
	page-number-restart?: (or %page-number-restart%
				  (book-start?)
				  (first-chapter?))
	page-number-format: ($page-number-format$)
	use: default-text-style
	left-header:   ($left-header$)
	center-header: ($center-header$)
	right-header:  ($right-header$)
	left-footer:   ($left-footer$)
	center-footer: ($center-footer$)
	right-footer:  ($right-footer$)
	start-indent: %body-start-indent%
	input-whitespace-treatment: 'collapse
	quadding: %default-quadding%
	(make sequence
	  (process-children))))

I use <section>, one reason being, it gives breaks for html rendering.

I am documenting a makefile in a docboek document.
It is long and I want to use callout to impress people of my enormous
knowledge on makefiles  (LOL). For better insight I would like to cut it up
in 3 pieces. Every piece on its own page. as a fabricated example something
along the lines:.
<chapter>
	<title>Makefiles</title>
	<para>
		part 1 would like to start new page here
		<screen>
			ROOT     := top

			SRC      := $(shell ls ${ROOT}/{*.cpp,*.CC,*.cxx}) <co
id="Make.Shell.func"/>
			etc .....
		</screen>

		<calloutlist>
			......
		</calloutlist>
		part 2 would like to start new page here
		<screen>
			ROOT     := top

			SRC      := $(shell ls ${ROOT}/{*.cpp,*.CC,*.cxx}) <co
	                       id="Make.Shell.func"/>
		etc .....
		</screen>

		<calloutlist>
			 .....
		</calloutlist>
		part 3 would like to start new page here
		<screen>
			ROOT     := top

			SRC      := $(shell ls ${ROOT}/{*.cpp,*.CC,*.cxx}) <co
					id="Make.Shell.func"/>
			etc .....
		</screen>

		<calloutlist>
			 .....
		</calloutlist>
	</para>
</chapter>

Can this be archieved without resorting to formating instructions or tag
abusing?
while I'm asking, how can one archieve that the screen sections have a grey
color in the print output just like the html version?

Thanks Reni
