how to prevent empty pages in a book? (part xxviii)

[Jakob Fix]

I would just like to thank everybody on the list who chimed in with
ideas, comments and help for their replies. Initially, I thought the
fact that we generate the files with Miramo was secondary, but thanks
to the list I was proven wrong. I've learned a lot today, and it was a
pleasure doing so.

The matter is now in the capable hands of the Miramo support staff who
actually monitor this list as I found out.

Thanks again.
Jakob.
