+<para>If non-zero (the default), then each page sequence will be forced to
+end on an even-numbered page, by inserting a blank page
+if necessary. This will force the next page sequence to start
+on an odd-numbered page, which is a standard convention
+for printed and bound books.</para>
+
+<para>If zero, then such blank pages will not be inserted.
+This is useful when publishing online where blank
+pages are not needed.
+</para>
+
+<para>This param is independent of the 
+<parameter>double.sided</parameter> parameter, which
+just triggers the use of even and odd page sequence 
+masters that differ in their header and footer placement.
+So you can combine the two params for alternating
+headers/footers and no blank pages.
