Removing / Stopping creation of blank pages after the cover, and after the title.

Removing / Stopping creation of blank pages after the cover, and after the title.

I am new to pandoc after using calibre's ebook-convert for some time.  I am 
amazed at the increased speed. And I am thankful that now my epubs pass 
epubcheck without spewing pages of errors!

I am creating epubs from html. Two annoying things I wish to avoid. 

1) Pandoc creates a blank page after the cover, and another blank page 
after the 'title', so that the actual foreword page (which I want to be 
page *2*) is page *4*.

I cannot see from the code where/how these forced page entries are inserted.

2) On the other hand,  pandoc ignores a inserted " <div style=
"page-break-before:always;"></div>" directive at the end of the foreword 
page and flows the main text body (ie: what would be Chapter 1 in a novel) 
directly after the last text of the foreword.

Can anyone help?

Could you post a minimal example?  (Minimal markdown
file that generates an epub with the features you wish
to avoid, so we can see them.)

As for point 2 it isn't Pandoc which ignores the break-before but most epub
readers do ignore it unfortunately. We had a discussion about this recently
in connexion with <
https://github.com/pandoc/lua-filters/tree/master/pagebreak> (which may
interest you), where it was mentioned that using a p rather than a div
works better in some readers.
