I do this kind of thing sometimes myself, and I find it easiest to
put all the formatting in the @Form definition:
def @Form
named header { ... }
named footer { ... }
...
so that I can create one form via
@Form
header { ... }
footer { ... }
If I have a bunch of standard headers then I do what tao seems to be
doing, make a definition for each header. For getting multiple forms
in one file I just separate them by @NP symbols:
@Doc @Text @Begin
@Form ...
@NP
@Form ...
@NP
...
@End @Text
This requires turning off the page numbering. Also if there are
things required at the foot of the page, then you need a bit of
Lout magic inside @Form:
def @Form
...
{
...
//1rt @OneRow {
... stuff for foot of page here ...
}
}
The //1rt asks for the equivalent of right justification in the vertical
direction. It's explained in detail in the Expert's Guide.
