Re: page chunking
/ Bob Stayton <bobs@caldera.com> was heard to say:
| But there is still no direct solution for arbitrary
| chunking on <beginpage/> elements. I think it would

I misread it too. Chunking the HTML into pages at <beginpage>
boundaries in the source would be *really* hard.
I suggest the following strategy instead:
1. Add a template that outputs <span class="pagebreak"/> where each
beginpage occurs.
2. Create a single HTML file for the entire document.
3. Write a script in your programming language of choice (Perl, Python, etc.)
that chunks on the <span class="pagebreak"/> boundaries.
Be seeing you,
