Ok, I'm not sure why, but the techninque shown on my page works only
when the body of the text is surrounded by \startbodymatter ...
\stopbodymatter. The example should read:

\startbodymatter
\chapter{The Windows of Absolute Night}
...etc...
\stopbodymatter

I also use \startfrontmatter ... \stopfrontmatter to delimit the
Contents, Preface, Introduction, etc, and \startbackmatter ...
\stopbackmatter around the Index and colophon. But the behavior you
found is controlled by the example above.

I'll correct the page.
