Chapter Eleven — SGML Functions (continued)
Page breaks in HTML are normally set by using the CSS page-break-before and page-break-after properties. For HTML formatted with Novaworks tools, page fields are employed which structure the information around the actual break to allow the user to control the content of the page header and footers.
The Page Break Object allows a source object to be mapped and processed. Page breaks do not have to be in field format but the capabilities for editing and display increase dramatically when using fields.
To use the function, the object must be mapped and a Page Break Object handle will be returned.
In addition, page break field code can be created.
Page Break Fields are using with in Novaworks Page View editors to provide control of HTML pages in a manner similar to a word processor. They can be managing in groups, renumbered, sectioned, etc.
When creating or accessing the code for page break fields, the area is broken into three main parts: the container, the footer and the header. The contain has the field control code, meta data and divisions to group the sections. The header and footer consist either of free flowing HTML or a table of one to three columns (usually one row). If the field is a combination header/footer then the actual CSS page break code is place are the start of the second division.
In the page editor, the code appears as follows (in a browser the shading and marks do not appear):
A sample container is as follows:
<!-- Field: Page -->
<DIV STYLE="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 6pt">footer</DIV>
<DIV STYLE="page-break-before: always;
margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt">header</DIV>
<!-- Field: /Page -->
Notice this container does not have the tables for the header and footer.
The table below outlines key names for the field data in addition for position information.
A number of function share property key names either as the primary name in a list or as column names in a table. Numeric data is in the form of a decimal or hexadecimal string as inficated. The items are as follows:
