Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: jadetex producing different output each time run

Yes, as with LaTeX and other systems that generate cross-references with TeX, it's traditional to run jadetex three times. Three shall be the number of the times you run TeX, and the number of times you run TeX shall be three. Four is OK, but two is not enough. Five is not right out, but is also just fine. Six is fine, too. So is 7, 8, and 9. > What am I doing wrong? Absolutely nothing. You need to run TeX once in order to generate the page number cross references that go into the .aux file. You then need to run TeX again so that the cross references from the .aux file get inserted into the document. But the act of inserting them could cause pagination, so you run TeX again to insert the possibly corrected page number references. Certain fonts may have unusual width of numbers, though, and you might get an occasional incorrect page reference. In the FreeBSD project, we keep running jadetex until the .aux file doesn't change. Take care. --Sean
