[bksvol-discuss] Re: Book without blank lines at top/bottom of pages

Allison,  the header processor is actually supposed to eat up headers;  it 
should then extract page numbers and place them into the DAISY code, so 
that DAISY readers can go to the real page 4456,  instead of the 456th 
page from the beginning of the file.

Hi,

I have been a validator for about 3 or 4 years now and really don't pay 
attention to blank line placements, and I've not had any trouble with the 
stripper eating my page numbers.

Best,
Allison
