/ estelle bochinger <misslamby@caramail.com> was heard to say:
| In my Docbook article, I would like to specify some page
| breaks.
| For that, I use the element beginpage,
That's not the purpose of beginpage.
Description
The BeginPage element marks the location of an actual page break
in a print version of the document, as opposed to where a page
break might appear in a further rendition of the document. This
information may be used, for example, to allow support staff using
an online system to coordinate with a user referring to a page
number in a printed manual.
Processing expectations
The break identified by BeginPage may be displayed in an online
version of the document or used for legacy purposes, but it is not
expected to cause a page break when the document is processed by
an SGML system.
| I would like to know why this template or other which
| transform the element beginpage wasn't envisaged in the xsl
| stylesheets, and if it is possible to add it in the
| project?
I suggest instead that you use a processing instruction, such as:
<?pagebreak?> and add a template for that.
I wonder if we could remove <beginpage> someday...
Be seeing you,
norm
