Let me know what you think before I do it. If I put breaks between sections
there might be a bit more white space than inserting page breaks to eliminate
white space all together. But it still would look ok.
I'll send a version that has all the chapters together shortly.

One way to deal with manual page breaks being user freindly for changes in the
future might be to put them after each sub or longish subsub section. The
layout wouldn't be as nice as this way, but still much better than texinfo's
default spacing.

The texinfo help forum recommended I clean up the space issues with page

?
It looks great in html, and I get the feeling texinfo was not meant for
image heavy documents in pdf, so take your pick an ugly pdf or an ugly code. I
personally feel it wouldn't be too hard to work around the page breaks, only an
extra 5 min of your time.
You're right. Adding manual page breaks makes maintenence harder, but is
sometimes necessary.
For this reason it's normally done as the last thing just before a release.
At any rate, in this case, it should certainly be done after the chapter has
been incorporated into
the manual, since doing that has the potential to change where the page breaks
should go.

John
