Bands

[Top]  [Chapter]  [Previous]  [Next]

Bands are identified by a colon (':') after the opening << characters.

 

Example for header bands:

 

<<:HEADER>>

 

This starts a group header or, if used outside of any group a document header text. In the latter case the following variations are possible:

 

HEADERF = header on first page only

HEADERO =  header on odd pages

HEADERE = header on even pages

HEADER_OFF = this header is disabled.

 

Please note that bands are not implemented using opening and closing tokens ("i.e. <<..>>...<</...>>") so optionally the closing '/' character can be typed: <<:HEADER/>>

 

Example for footer bands:

 

<<:FOOTER>>

 

This starts a group footer or, if used outside of any group a document footer text. In the latter case the following variations are possible:

 

FOOTERF = footer on first page only

FOOTERO =  footer on odd pages

FOOTERE = footer on even pages

FOOTER_OFF = this footer is disabled.

 

Inside header and footer bands fields, images and text is possible. A header and footer band ends where either a different header or footer band starts or a data band:

 

<<:DATA/>>

 

Bands must be the first non white space (white space= space or tab characters) in a paragraph. All text after the band token will be ignored and can be used to write comments.
