Thanks for your reply Hans.
The h2's all have the same format except that the id attribute changes
for each h2, which is to be expected.
I tried
\chapter{xmltext{#1}}
as you suggested, and still the same problem.
I've created a new tex file, which only contains the problematic files
and compiled it. Still the same problem. I also removed the id attribute
from the h2's, since I don't use that for typesetting and still the same
effect. So I think I'll leave it tonight and start from scratch tomorrow
and have a look through some other books I've typeset. I'll let you know
how I get on.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Best Wishes
Keith McKay

H,
I'm typesetting a memoir for a friend and I've come across a strange
problem which I'm trying to solve. The memoir will be A5 format and
has quite a few chapters which are less than a page long. I noticed
that for some chapters the distance between the the chapter head and
the first paragraph were not aligned in double page view. You can see
this quite clearly in the attached screenshot.
I was given a docx file consisting of 80 chapters and and appendices
which I converted to individual xhtml files. The resulting xhtml
files are very simple and the format is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../styles/style001.css" type="text/css" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h2 id="heading_id_no>Chapter Number</h2>
<p>Some text</p>
<p>Some text</p>
<p>And so on...</p>
</body>
</html>
In some of the xhtml files I have added <div>...</div> for layout
purposes and also inserted images.
I use xmlsetups to typeset the tags as follows:
\startxmlsetups xml:html
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:body
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:h2
\page
\chapter{\xmlflush{#1}}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:p
\xmlflush{#1}\par
\stopxmlsetups
along with a few others for divs, images and some other tags.
For the chapters setup I use:
\setuphead[chapter][page=no,
number=no,
header=empty,
align=middle,
after={\blank[3cm]}]
I would expect that using this \setuphead, there should be a gap of
three cm between the head text and the first paragraph, however in a
few chapters this does not happen and an extra blank line is either
added or subtracted to the gap.
I'm obviously missing something simple and struggling to find a
solution to correct this problem so I would be grateful for any hints
on how to go about it.
hard to guess ... so how do these h2's look compared to each other
maybe use
\chapter{\xmltext{#1}}
