Thanks for your reply Hans.
The h2's all have the same format except that the id attribute changes
for each h2, which is to be expected.
I tried
\chapter{xmltext{#1}}
as you suggested, and still the same problem.
I've created a new tex file, which only contains the problematic files
and compiled it. Still the same problem. I also removed the id attribute
from the h2's, since I don't use that for typesetting and still the same
effect. So I think I'll leave it tonight and start from scratch tomorrow
and have a look through some other books I've typeset. I'll let you know
how I get on.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Best Wishes
Keith McKay
