Re: Removing extra blank pages in fo - including the TOC

[Igor Rosenberg <Igor.Rosenberg@sophia.inria.fr>]

Hello,

Many thanks Bob for this answer. Indeed the TOC now goes onto the PART 
page. But... Now the Part "anchor", to which point all the links, stands 
at the end of the TOC. If I have a TOC spanning several pages, the link 
brings me back to the end of the TOC, ie maybe two pages AFTER the real 
first page of the PART.

It's not a real bother to me, twas just to report a faulty behavior.

Thanks again for the good and hard work!

Igor
