A @Form like so works reasonably well most of the time:
def @Form
named header {}
named footer {}
right data
{
header
// data
//1rt @OneRow { footer }
}
However, if data is large it can push footer to the next page. I'd
ultimately like to have a file of forms where a form can span a page
and Lout will arrange for each page to get header and footer in the
right place. I've tried shoving footers directly into the
@PageFootNotePlace galley, for example, with no luck.
This is sort of baroque, I guess. I may be best off breaking up the
pages in the program that generates the Lout code. Eg. if data is a
table where 8 rows fit between the header and footer, chop up data so
only eight rows are in any @Form.
Thanks.
