The "Duck book" describes beginpage like so: ] Description ] ] The BeginPage element marks the location of an actual page break in a ] print version of the document, as opposed to where a page break might ] appear in a further rendition of the document. This information may be ] used, for example, to allow support staff using an online system to ] coordinate with a user referring to a page number in a printed manual. ] ] 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. This sounds to me like <beginpage> is metadata describing the location of a page break in a print version of a document, instead of an instruction, to the formatter. m@ +-mbraun@urbana.css.mot.com-+- I was chasin' a ghost pale and white-----------+ | Matt Braun -- Motorola, | and hard to see; The boys in blue from | | Urbana, IL Design Centre | Peculiar School are hangin' out in the dark | +Cellular Subscriber Sector-+--- and they're lookin' for me. ------------[SR]-+
