Re: Re: The @ChapterGap parameter

[Jeffrey Howard Kingston]

Right, I've found it now.  I've added a disclaimer to the start of that

real code, they are not necessarily current code.  I've never attempted to
keep those examples abreast of the current state of the Lout packages, and
no doubt there are other anachronisms in there too.
