These questions are really in the realm of the docbook xsls that xmlmind uses 
rather than xmlmind itself. For help on configuring/customizing the docbook 
xsls, see the resources listed at: http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=21935

<beginpage> is a frequent source of confusion. It's intended to be descriptive 
rather than prescriptive. http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/beginpage.html:
"Processing expectations--The break identified by BeginPage may be displayed in 
an online version of the document or used for legacy purposes, but it is not 
expected to cause a page break when the document is processed by an SGML 
system."

IIRC, refentrys can be chunks--you just need to set some parameters in the 
xsls. Peek in: XMLmind_XML_Editor/config/docbook/xslMenu.incl to see what 
params are being passed to the xsls. Maybe increase chunk.section.depth? Also 
look around in XMLmind_XML_Editor/config/docbook/xsl/doc and 
XMLmind_XML_Editor/config/docbook/xsl/html (esp. 
XMLmind_XML_Editor/config/docbook/xsl/doc/param.xsl). An excellent resource for 
customizing the docbook xsls is: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html 
(see http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Chunking.html for chunking). 

Good luck,
David

Subject: [XXE] How to control page breaks?


L.S.

I'm using XMLeditor to compose a manpage using a docbook refentry 
element. The docbook refentry element is not supposed to be a top-level 
element, but needs some parent element (an article, section or ...).

When converting the docbook xml to html and printing the document from a 
browser, I want the manpage to start on a new page. Are there ways to 
control page breaks at the docbook level?

I did find a beginpage element which should serve my needs according to 
its desrciption. However, when converted to HTML, it had been rendered 
into two consecutive tags: <beginpage></beginpage>, which does not 
appear to be HTML.

Am I missing something?


Thanks in advance for any help,

Erik Leunissen
