the problem is that one can end up in oscillating
Hans
Wouldn't it be possible to use something like \ballast, in the way it is used in the ledmac package for LaTeX?
I don't have the documentation at hand, but if I don't remember wrong, if e.g. a pagebreak starts oscillating, the value of the \ballast is subtracted from the set of different values that makes the pagebreak oscillate.
it depends a bit on what effect one wants to achieve, a local fix, say page 7-9),may as well spoil the one at page 123-127, which then spoils the toc, which in turn results in page 7 being messed up because the content moves to page 8, and a figure now ends up on a different side of the spread, and since in that doc graphic alignment is page dependent, we get yet more changes .... there is quote some two pass info going around and although it may look like things are ok (by looking are some pages) someplace else in the doc things may have gone wrong, which goes unnoticed for a while Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
