Hi, We've been using iText in our product and it's done a great job! However, I noticed that when generating a RTF document with Chapters, a page break is made after the Chapter title. This results in many allmost empty pages and alot of work editing the document afterwards.
Section class has a method setTriggerNewPage() but this does not seem to work with RTF (atleast not as I expected). So, after browsing the RTF spec from M$ [1], I tried inserting \sbknone in RtfChapter.writeContent() According to the spec, Section break starts a new page by default, inserting \sbknone seems to behave as I wanted (content after the Chapter is not shifted onto a new page. The fix is quite crude, and not controlled by setTriggerNewPage(). I'm not sure if this is the correct way to get the result, any comments?
