Okay, I hadn't thought about compound names -- I will try that, and
hopefully it will not cause a lot of clutter in the node names. I did
think about adding an argument to specify the order of pages, but that
increases the amount of user intervention required to produce a
document. Perhaps I will add that as an optional argument. Thanks for
your suggestions.
