Attributes
defaultcolor
(text, optional, since version 2.9.3)
-
The default text color for this page (unless overridden in Paragraph or Textblock). Defaults to 'black'.
name
(text)
-
Name of the master page. It is for informational purpose and as a selection for NewPage.
test
(XPath expression)
-
If this xpath expression evaluates to true, this page is taken as a master page.
The contents of the element at
AtPageCreation is executed, as soon as something will be placed on the page. The commands inside
AtPageShipout are executed when switching to a new page.
When creating a new page, all page types are tried in reversed order. That means that the later defined master pages have a higher priority. This is important if more than one test in a pagetype definition evaluates to true.
Example
<Pagetype name="right page" test=" sd:odd( sd:current-page() ) "/>
<Pagetype name="left page" test=" sd:even( sd:current-page() ) "/>
<Pagetype name="main part right" test=" sd:odd( sd:current-page() ) and $chapter='main' "/>
<Pagetype name="right page" test="sd:odd( sd:current-page() )">
<Margin left="1cm" right="1cm" top="1cm" bottom="1cm"/>
