I tried `\blank` commands in `before`, but it seems to have to effect. A space before `\blank` (like `before={\ \blank[5em]}`) makes it work, but is not so nice.

TeX ignores a \blank at the begin of a page, to force the space you can “before=\blank[force,<value>]”.

But using `toffset` and `boffset` does the job, even without `\blank`s:

This is wrong because the toffset and buffet control the margins *in* the boy and not around the box.

If the before option is just for space then how do I place a fleuron centered above the chapter title?
