Dateline

What happens when your data replaces the sample

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

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves

constant margins; the dateline column every block hangs from; head rule under the edition line; foot rule carrying the issue number

Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data

news items, each stamped with its own date; shipped-job lines; numbers lines; diary dates; who-to-ask lines

Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking

the lead item and every news item body; the sign-off note

Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks

the dateline column and margins hold their position on every page; head rule at the page top and foot rule at the page bottom on every page

Order on the pageWhat sits after what

news items in date order after the nameplate; shipped jobs after the news; numbers and diary after the shipped jobs; who to ask last

Page breaksWhat may split, what must not

the news run, the shipped list and the who-to-ask list may split across pages; a single news item and the numbers block must not

Last pageHow the document ends

numbers, diary and who-to-ask may occupy the final page alone; the dateline column and the two rules carry it
