Wide Margin — business proposal template, Swiss grid layout, rendered from live data

Rendered by the same engine the API runs — this is the compiled output, not a mock-up.

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Wide Margin does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves
the head rule under the masthead and the foot rule carrying the proposal reference and validity (fixed height — nothing in either may grow)
Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data
sections in the measure, each with its own margin note; fee rows; the acceptance cells
Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking
every section's prose and its margin note; the fee schedule; the closing paragraph
Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks
the head and foot rules sit at the page top and bottom on every page; the margin holds its width
Order on the pageWhat sits after what
each section follows the previous one down the measure; the fee table follows the sections; acceptance last
Page breaksWhat may split, what must not
the section list and the fee table may split across pages; the acceptance block must not
Last pageHow the document ends
the fee table and acceptance may occupy the final page alone; the margin and foot rule carry it

The pairing this design was drawn around, laid out as a Swiss grid on A4 portrait. Either face can be swapped in the editor — the layout holds on the grid, not on a font's metrics.
