Ah, I understand. Well, I was talking about an
h# contained in a
div. There is nothing in my files that
wouldn't be contained in a
div. It's nothing but
divs containing content (cover, chapters, etc.) I'm trying to use
divs for only highest-level containers.
Still, now that I understand, I don't foresee a problem for my books. It actually makes sense to me that the vertical margin would collapse -- it seems desirable to do that. Padding is enough, I think.
But
you don't like it, and I think if I were using image backgrounds for my headers I wouldn't like it either... Hmmm. Is it occurring on your reader, in your browser, where? Can you point to a spec that defines it? Crazy question: can you add bottom margin to the pseudo-class? (BTW, why don't
you like it?)

I don't like the empty divs either, but I only use them in my ePUBs when I want a manual page break inside a file, which is not often (usually page breaks are between two files/chapters, which is fine).

I'm still thinking about using
hrs. I know that they are not strictly structure, but two things: a) they mark the page break when you aren't using a paged reader (like a browser) and b) is it really any different than an image? It's sorta like content, isn't it? "Here is a visual indicator of the end of the page!"
I guess there's a c), too: it doesn't have to display, with CSS.
[Also, d) I come from the old RocketBook world, where
<hr size=0> and
<hr new-page> were page markers. So it
feels reasonable. "Feels reasonable", kinda an oxymoron...]
And if I can do it for page-breaks, it seems right for scene-breaks too!
