Have a look at this template:
http://gist.github.com/535031

I think it might answer your question, or give you some directions to explore.

Hi, Phillip!

say I count I need 5 pages. Then if I somehow create a 'page' element $page, adding
it to a $story
$story->add_element($page)
and then
$burner->display_pages('page')
and up in an infinite loop, because every time a page is burned another 5 pages
are also added to the $story... I can't figure out how to solve this.

Hi Zdravko,

My apologies for the slow response. Have you found a solution to the problem yet? If not, I can certainly try to post some example code.

Phillip.

Hi Philip,
I' looked at your code but there is a bug in line 62.


pop @stories

may cause you loose the last story in some cases

Hi, Phillip!

No, I haven't find solution yet. This recursion is a killer. For cover
pages I insist users add to a story as many page elements as needed, but
it's not a solution. How to stop $burner->display_pages() from recursively
displaying pages forever?

Regards, Zdravko
