These macros implement the headers and footers for the newsletter format.
|
|
The macros accept three parameters: text that is to appear flush-left on
|
|
the line, text that should be centered, and text that should be flush-right
|
|
on the line. Parameters can be omitted by specifying empty braces ({}).
|
|
|
|
The following macros are defined for headers and footers:
|
|
|
|
\evenpageheader{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
|
|
\oddpageheader{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
|
|
\evenpagefooter{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
|
|
\oddpagefooter{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
|
|
|
|
If the headers/footers are the same for even & odd pages, the following
|
|
macros can be used instead of the four above:
|
|
|
|
\pageheader{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
|
|
\pagefooter{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
|
|
|
|
Additional header/footer definitions:
|
|
|
|
\pageheaderlinetrue - A line should extend below header text
|
|
\pageheaderlinefalse - Header does NOT have a line
|
|
\pagefooterlinetrue - A line should extend above footer text
|
|
\pagefooterlinefalse - Footer does NOT have a line
