79.0. "Starting a Chapter on an Even Page" by PNEUMA::ILSLEY () Mon Mar 09 1987 13:48

    Is there any way to redefine the Chapter parameters to start a
    chapter on an even page? My group produces bound manuals that use
    sequential page numbering (not chapter-oriented). We allow chapters
    to begin on even pages.

79.1Need a DESIGN fileCLOSET::ANKLAMTue Mar 10 1987 09:386
    
    You would have to create a DESIGN (DTP) file with a modified version
    of \chapter to do this. All you would change would be '\newrectopage'
    to '\SDMLpageject'
    
     
79.2sequential numbering throughout all sectionsDELNI::COLELLOWed May 06 1987 13:3811
    How about sequential numbering throughout the manual.  I have a
    design that calls for section oriented, sequential numbering, BUT
    sequential throughout.  Where can I put \setpagenumber{1} so that
    it does not start the numbering to 1 at the beginning of each section?
    
    Thanks,
    Bette Jean
    
    There is also a similiar note in the old notes file...
    
    
79.3tell me if this doesn't workCLOSET::ANKLAMThu May 07 1987 01:388
    
    If you have your own \section macro, you shouldn't need to do
    anything. <endfront_matter> always sets the page number to 1.
    Without front matter, the first page is 1. So as long as your
    \section macros don't fiddle with the page numbers, it should be
    all right. (REPORT, aka GENERAL, works this way now.)

79.4fiddling with page numbersDELNI::COLELLOThu May 07 1987 10:1421
    I didn't explain it right... I am using the \chapter macro and when
    I said my document is section oriented I meant that the <chapter>
    tag and \chapter macro is what I'm using because I want a chapter
    or section number with the title to appear as the chapter or section
    opener page... but I want all section to number sequentially from
    section 1 thru section 10, and not have each section start on page
    1.  I am fiddling with the page numbers and not having any success.
    Can I do this?
    
    I did run it through general (bs lvl 06) and got the same result:
    each section started counting over... can I \setpagenumber{+something}
    or {>previous number}.... 
    
    thanks,
    Bette Jean
    (I will be converting to T1.0 next week, and of course will want
    the same on T1.0...)
    
    cheers!
