Re: New page, contents and references

Hi,

Happy new year too! / Bonne année également ! :-)

Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately, i can't apply the patch, the patch utility throws me
several hunk errors : 

patch < /sequoia/lout/lout-3.39/patch.diff
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

So i tried to apply it by hand. But when i try to use @RefSectionGap i
get the following error : 

   157,1: symbol @RefSectionGap unknown or misspelt
   158,3: symbol @RefCiteStyle unknown or misspelt
   159,3: symbol @RefCiteLabels unknown or misspelt
   161,3: symbol @RefListFormat unknown or misspelt
   162,3: symbol @RefListLabels unknown or misspelt
   163,3: symbol @RefListTitle unknown or misspelt

   265,3: symbol @MarginNoteWidth unknown or misspelt
   304,3: symbol @OddFoot unknown or misspelt
   306,3: symbol @EvenFoot unknown or misspelt
    89,8: fatal error: invalid parameter of @Use


I use lout 3.39. May be i have to try your patch with a different
version ?

Regards,
Stéphane.
