I thought so, thanks for the confirmation.

Mmm. Not reasonable. Understood.

Mostly understood....
    I was half way through listing spm's, psm's and relating them.
I don't think there is any mapping of major docbook elements/page sets
to the psm's though is there?


<xsl:template name="select.user.pagemaster">
in pagesetup.xsl ?

So I customize the template for ... chapter and then...
Copy the logic from component.xsl to pick up the right
page master.

Not so difficult.. (he says, not yet having tried!!!)

Thanks Bob.
