All,
I have a situation where I place the (as per
Stayton's book) at the end of selected sections so that the next section
can start on a clean page. Yes, this is a severe hack that I am now
paying for ;-)

However, this leaves an undesirable artifact - an extra page that is not
labeled "Blank Page" like other blank pages would be in normal
processing.

I could modify the

template to end the page, but then ALL of
the sections would have that. Plus, some of my sections are at different
levels.

Ideally I would like to make a PI that I can use on selected sections
that intelligently says "start a new page now". Any ideas?

If you meant "start a new page on this section but not in this other", in LFS
we have a customization that creates conditional new pages for sect1 based on
if a descendant sect2 contains role="package" or not:



<xsl:attribute-set name="section.level1.properties">
<xsl:attribute name="break-before">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when
test="preceding-sibling::sect1[position()=1]/sect2/@role='package'
or self::sect1/sect2/@role='package'">page</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>auto</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

Note: This make use of @break-before just to avoid such extra blank pages.
