Hi Bob,
thank you very much for your help. Now it works!
I copied the content of the fo/division.xsl file into my customization.
Then, I commented out the following sequence :
Then by tranforming it with XSLTProc and Antenna House, the title pages were omitted, as I wanted them to.
>So I would suggest that you copy this template to your

This sounds very smart. I haven't managed yet to realize that. If you could give me some more details, that would help.
But for the moment, I am very pleased and thankful, that your help solved that high prio problem above. The on/off feature with the parameter would be a bonus feature to impress them :) .
Regards, Martin
