Re: Page Break


/ Peter.Wunderlich.extern@HypoVereinsbank.de was heard to say:
| How do I generate in docbook a page break? I've tried a <BEGINPAGE> tag but
| when generating RTF or PDF output, no page break gets inserted.

The beginpage element is *explicitly not* designed to create a page
break. It's for documenting where legacy page breaks used to be.

There is no element in DocBook to generate an arbitrary page break.
That's not a structural or semantic element, it's a presentation
element.

I suggest that you use a processing instruction.
