Standard headers |  |
The header d.t.d. provides tags for customizing the headers and footers. The customization is based on the idea that we may specify a page text for every page. This page text can for instance be a running title or the name of the current section. The page text may depend on the parity of a page and appear in a different way for special pages like starts of new chapters. The following tags control the physical layout of different types of pages:
-
start-page - This tag, with the page text as its only argument, specifies the layout of the first page of a new chapter or section.
-
odd-page-text -
Similar to
start-page , but for the layout of ordinary odd pages. -
even-page-text -
Similar to
start-page , but for the layout of ordinary even pages.
The following tags control the logical header-related actions to be undertaken, when specifying a title, an author, or when starting a new section.
-
header-title - A tag with a “title argument” which is used at the specification of the document title.
-
header-author - A tag with an “author argument” which is used at the specification of the document author.
-
header-primary -
A tag with a “section name argument” which is used at
the start of each new primary section (i.e.
chapter for book style, orsection for article style). -
header-secondary -
A tag with a “section name argument” which is used at
the start of each new secondary section (i.e.
section for book style, orsubsection for article style).
