Page numbers
Headers and footers know two extra fields:
{{ page }}is the current page, starting at 1.{{ pages }}is the number of pages.
All other {{ }} tags take their value from your data, as in the body.
Section titles in the header
A long report can show the current chapter at the top of each page. Mark
the chapter headings with the class section-title:
<h1 class="section-title">1. Introduction</h1>Then use {{ section }} in a header. Each page shows the last section title
that started on or before it.
Small print
Legal text often needs small type. The class small-print keeps it
readable: at least 7 pt, with a line height of 1.2.
<div class="small-print">
<p>Gerichtsstand ist Frankfurt am Main.</p>
</div>You can also write @page rules in your own CSS, as in
Your first document. The page block
is a shorter way to write the common cases.
