Message-ID: Date: 28 May 90 22:42:26 GMT Sender: news@oracle.com Reply-To: jlevine Organization: Oracle, Belmont, CA, USA Lines: 30 I'm trying to put together a standard header/footer template for my group's specification documents, and what I'd like to use is something akin to what one often sees in troff'ed books: Title Page Even Page Odd Page header: [/CONFIDENTIAL/] [Page #//Spec title] [Chapter title//Page #] footer: [Company/Page #/Group] [CONFIDENTIAL//Company] [Group//CONFIDENTIAL] (Where stuff in the square brackets corresponds, as in .tl, to [LeftTitle/CenterTitle/RightTitle]) I've got the document-consistant values working (CONFIDENTIAL, Company, etc.), but what I'd really like to do is have dynamically changing Chapter Titles and Spec titles -- that is, when somebody puts something into Title,Chapter format, the LeftTitle string is changed for the odd pages. Has anybody done anything like this?
