By meaning it is a minimum working example, it demonstrates the problem, but not in all situations I use. Basically at the start of a chapter or section, I have tons of metadata. This is information in \index{} (and some custom index like \dateis that generates a time line), information placed in registers, some information loaded from an entire passage sometimes \include passage.tex (though not displayed, cuz it contains indexes, registers, etc.), and its always leaving this gap after the section title. I've used \starteffect[hidden] as one attempt to hide it, but it only makes it basically invisible, but still present. How to make it invisible and take up no space? Or can I hide all that information inside some part of the section title? \startchapter[title=foo]
\index{xxx} whatever in this case there is no gap, and usign some 'effect' then actually can be the reason for messing up spacing (as it goes into horizontal mode) in the case of an index, just keep the command and don't place the register, no need to use effect as \index is not visible there anyway) in the case of a footnote, just use the trick i mentioned and put the footnote in the title, not on a line of its own Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
