Standard headers

The header d.t.d. provides call-back macros which allow page headers and footers to change automatically when specifying the title information of the document or when starting a new section.

<header-title|title>

This macro is called when specifying the title of a document.

<header-author|author>

This macro is called when specifying the author(s) of a document.

<header-primary|section-title|section-nr|section-type>

This macro is called at the start of each new primary section (e.g. chapter for book style, or section for article style). The section-type is a literal text like “Chapter” or “Section”.

<header-secondary|section-title|section-nr|section-type>

This macro is called at the start of each new secondary section (e.g. section for book style, or subsection for article style). The section-type is a literal text like “Section” or “Paragraph”.

In style files, page headers and footers are usually set by the above call-back macros, and not manually. You may directly modify headers and footers by setting the corresponding environment variables or using several helper macros supplied by std-utils.
