Package: dblatex Version: 0.3-2 When processing the included docbook file, I get this output from dblatex:
% dblatex examples/bad-beginpage.xml Build the book set list... Build the listings... XSLT stylesheets DocBook - LaTeX 2e (0.3.4-2) =================================================== Cannot start a new page at a specific page number Build bad-beginpage.pdf 'bad-beginpage.pdf' successfully built % Note the 'Cannot start a new page at a specific page number' message. It is casued by the <beginpage> tag with a page number included. This is the description of <beginpage> in <URL: http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/beginpage.html >: 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. In my document, I use it to indicate where the page breaks were located in the original paper version of the document (to make it easier to find correct section when adding indexterm entries), but this do not seem to be the way dblatex interpret it. Please check if dblatex is handling it wrong.
