You are my hero! I'll test that out later; thanks a lot for all your work. Some other random feedback: it would be nice to be able to automatically add a "COPYRIGHT" section to each generated page, from the "copyright" element (I guess searching the standard parents for that). Perhaps a parameter would be necessary to control that. w.r.t. the AUTHOR stuff, it doesn't seem to pick up the author element from /book/bookinfo/author, which is the only place in my manual I have such a beast. Is that deliberate, I should add one in the referenceinfo too perhaps? Regards, joe
