Hairline Grid

What happens when your data replaces the sample

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

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves

running head with the instrument reference; page-of-page foot rule; constant margins; the four-column grid itself — identity column, two-column text measure, shoulder-note column

Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data

metadata cells; articles; clauses with run-in numbers; lettered sub-items; shoulder notes, one per clause at most; schedule rows with the head repeating on a page break; execution cells, one per party

Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking

the recital; every clause body; shoulder notes (they wrap in their own column and never push the text measure)

Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks

running head and foot rule sit at the page edges on every page; the four column positions hold on every page

Order on the pageWhat sits after what

recital after the rule band; articles in order; the schedule inside article 3; execution block last

Page breaksWhat may split, what must not

an article and the schedule may split across pages between rows; a clause with its shoulder note, a schedule row and the execution block must not

Last pageHow the document ends

the execution block may occupy the final page alone; the grid, running head and foot rule carry that page unaided
