Re: New page, contents and references

Hello, and happy new year!  :-)

It seems that @Report lacks a knob for this.

You could set @SectionGap to 1b, which would cause each section to start
on a new page, including the “References” section.  But that may not be
what you want.

Hmm.  The attached patch adds the ‘@RefSectionGap’ option, which should
allow you to do what you want.  Can you test it and report back?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
