You can get either one big page or multipage, depending on how you use
the stylesheets, and on the kind of document you use.  When you do a
File->Export for HTML, you're using Norman Walsh's DocBook stylesheets.
If you look deep in the guts of src/plugin-docbook.c you should be able
to hack things appropriately (html-chunks versus html-nochunks, IIRC).

Ideally we'd have a UI option for this (please file a bugzilla about
this, and even better attach a patch!).
