Re: [docbook-apps] DocBook XSL and page breaks

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi,
The toc.margin.properties attribute set can be used to add the page break.  See the 
example near the end of this section:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintToc.html#PageMargins

A link to this page is found in the index of the book under "table of contents, page 
break".

Hi Ron

Thanks. However, I think I failed to explain myself properly. The problem I have is 
not 'how do I insert a hard page break?', it is 'given that the toc is generated 
content, where do I insert the hard break?'. The content is a fairly standard DocBook 
article with no TOC. We're taking advantage of the automatically generated toc so 
there isn't anywhere to place the PI in my content!

cheers

nic
