Hi Dave,
The simplest solution for just the chapter title is to add space-before in the title
(and be sure to add space-before.conditionality="retain" since it appears first in the
flow).
In general, the page-masters all share the same page size and margin parameters for
consistency of look, but that makes it harder to customize particular page masters.
Adding separate params for each page-master's many margins would result in a *lot* of
params (15 masters * 4 sides * 3 properties). So you are left with defining custom
page masters and getting your stylesheet to use them. It is easiest to copy an
existing page master to a custom 'user.pagemasters' template, change the name, and
change just the properties you want to be different. Then customize
'select.user.pagemaster' template to turn it on.
