No. But it makes me think of adding a 'stopper' (afsluiter) feature. Because 'subject' inherits from 'section', there is no need for the the number=no, just use \subsubject. Also, beware of lower level headers inheriting defaults! Note: when cross document links are turned on, (see pdftex manuals as an example of this), text headers are handled ok, even multiple ones, even when spanning mulriple lines, like in: [bf: a subsection] [bs: a subsubsection] the text etc If one wants to see some uncomprehensible horrible tex, take a look at the code used to do this: typeset, unfold, combine, unwhateverbox, etc. This is a typical example of nightmare programming.

Now I have some terrible line breaks and indenting problems that I did not have before. I checked, and if I eleiminate the subsection setup below, my problems go away. For example, the following source \section{Surface Area} A too infrequently used result from Pappus states that if a simple convex figure is rotated about a line then the surface area of the resulting figure equals the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the distance traveled by that figure's centroid. For example, if the line of length $h$ in \in{Figure}[pappus] is revolved around the line $L$, \placefigure [here][pappus] {Producing a cylinder.} {\externalfigure[chap3/pappus.1]} then a cylinder of height $h$ and radius $r$ is produced, which is well-known to have lateral surface area equal to $2\pi rh$. Still, according to Pappus, the lateral surface area should equal gets typeset exactly like this: \section{Surface Area} A too infrequently used result from Pappus states that if a simple convex figure is rotated about a line then the surface area of the resulting figure equals the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the distance traveled by that figure's centroid. For example, if the line of length $h$ in \in{Figure}[pappus] is revolved around the line $L$, then a cylinder of height $h$ and radius $r$ is produced, which is well-known to have lateral surface area equal to $2\pi rh$. Still, according to Pappus, the lateral surface area should equal with the figure on the next page. There are other bad problems, with some paragraphs indenting, some not.

Can you send me (and gilbert -) the complete setup you use? In your example I see no \subsection, so I wonder what happens. Maybe some forgotten brace or so.
