Thank you Bob. I knew I was missing something.

I'm sitting here with a copy of the book in front of me wondering why I didn't think to look in the index.
I'll just shuffle off feeling vaguely embarrassed right now

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!
