Double Measure

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Double Measure does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves

constant margins; foot rule carrying the studio line and the case reference

Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data

headline figures across the measure; the two section stacks; method steps; ledger stage rows

Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking

standfirst; every section paragraph; method step descriptions; ledger stage labels

Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks

foot rule sits at the page bottom on every page; margins and the column gutter hold their position on every page

Order on the pageWhat sits after what

fact strip after the standfirst; figure measure after the fact strip; the two-column section pair after it; quote after the columns; stage ledger after the quote

Page breaksWhat may split, what must not

the two-column pair and the stage ledger may split across pages (ledger header row repeats); the figure measure and the quote must not

Last pageHow the document ends

the ledger and its total row may occupy the final page alone; the foot rule carries it
