The "titlepage" mechanism in the stylesheets is designed to be very general, so that it handles the title and *info elements in many different output styles. Page breaking after the title and info is just one feature. Sometimes it generates separate title pages, as in the FO output for a book, and sometimes it just prints the title and *info elements without a page break, as in the FO output for an article and for HTML output. The mode should probably be called "title-and-info" or some such. 8^) I'll clarify this in the doc. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
