Yes, a chapter element generates a page-sequence in
FO output, and a page sequence always starts on a new page. If you want to
use book and chapter, you'll need to customize both templates so that book
generates a page-sequence for all your content, and chapter does not. Or
you might just use article, if that suffices for your needs. An article is
a single page-sequence.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Simple way to
have no (apparent) cover pages in PDF output
I’m trying to use DocBook to build a short Quick Guide type
document. I want the book or article title to be printed like a first level
heading with very little other default stuff like copyright, author info, etc.
, and no page breaks after the rector and verso pages.
I’m able to pretty easily get just the elements that I want
and no others, but for the life of me I can’t see how to avoid a page break
before the content. I think it might be that the chapter elements get a page
break by default. I can’t seem to deduce how to make the output not have a
page break before the chapters.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Alan
