Re: [docbook-apps] suppressing header (rule and text)

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

Hi Stefan,
I had to do something like that for a client.  I don't think it is possible if you 
just use a break-before="page" instruction on section.  The page header is part of the 
static content, and is tied to the page-sequence in terms of "first", "odd", etc.  So 
I customized the stylesheets to put each top-level section in its own page-sequence, 
so that I could customize the header.content template for $sequence = 'first' for such 
section page-sequences.

There were quite a few details: a new page-master for such sections, customizing 
templates named initial.page.number, force.page.count, customizing the chapter and 
appendix templates to exclude section from its page-sequence as well as trigger 
processing of sections in their own page-sequence (after the chapter sequence is 
closed), and customizing section to make a new page-sequence (by calling the utility 
template named page.sequence).
