Adding a "promotional materials" page after the index

Hi all -

I'm trying to add a promotional page after the index - you
know, "buy
this other book too, and the t-shirt" and all that sort
of thing.  It
would appear after the index, but it's not a back cover,
it's just
another page.  I've been poking around for a bit with no
luck... any
pointers on doing this?

Thanks,

Tom

I've placed a colophon element after an index for such
purposes.

Ah, very cool, that works great!  OK, for some reason I
thought you
could have only one colophone element in the book... having
several
works fine, just need to tweak the section title.  Many
thanks!

Yours,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Yeah, beaten by Bob to the reply by about 5 minutes. 

My motto for docbook-apps is; If in doubt always believe Bob
unless 
Jirka disagrees with him, in which case it's a toss up
between the two 
as to which is correct and most likely somewhere in
between.

Always check the Definitive Guide if you want to find out
about an 
element. If you look at 'colophon' and then select the
'book' link in 
'Parent Elements' then in the content model for 'book' you
will find 
'one or more of ... colophon'. Which is a subtle hint :^)

I was going to add some of my tips for stylesheet
customization, but 
those will appear in a separate message. as they were
getting a bit long.
