Subject: "Multi-line header" - how? From: "Glenn R. Kronschnabl" <grk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 28 Jun 1997 09:22:39 -0500 |
Hi, I am trying to get a header that looks something like the following: (running jade 0.8 rtf output) --- top of page --- DRAFT Program Name Jan 1997 ------------------------------------------------------------------- (body text) ... A couple of lessons learned thus far: 1) the DSSSL spec says that for simple-page-sequence the header should only be a single line????? What exactly can a line be? 2) make paragraph-break doesn't work in header (because of #1?) 3) I have tried using multiple display-groups, which comes out close but the true "header" is empty and the display group just gets stuck underneath the header (the header has a single null paragraph). Even weirder, extra spacing gets put before the DRAFT on the "right-page" versus "left-page" even tho the dsssl code is the same.? Here is the code I have tried: (page-header (make sequence (make display-group (make paragraph use: para-style quadding: 'center font-weight: 'bold (literal "DRAFT"))) (literal "Program Name") (make display-group (make paragraph use: para-style quadding: 'start (process-first-descendant "MONTH") (literal " ") (process-first-descendant "YEAR"))) (make rule orientation: 'horizontal space-before: %block-sep% space-after: %block-sep% line-thickness: 1pt length: %body-width%) ))) Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
