Yes, I understood that from your posts. However--those scene breaks, fleurons, etc., significantly contrbute to the "problem" (which started much of this discussion) of the bottoms of eBook "pages" (screens) not being squared, page after page/screen after screen.
I do feel that I should point out that the rationale for squared pages is for opposing pages, more than "every" page. Yes, it's true that old school typesetters will sit there, print out pages both front/back and hold them up to the light, to check them, both for density and squaring, so the standard-bearers do check for "all" pages--but the norm is facing pages, not all. I mention this because obviously, eBooks typically don't
have facing pages. I suspect that 99% of all eBook readers have never thought about whether or not the last line on a page is at the same exact pixel as the previous.
