The structure of a document template
The structure of a document template is a description of a sequence of page templates written in a special language.
There are four types of document template structure:
• One–page document,
• Two–page document,
• Document with a predefined page order,
• Custom structure.
A one–page document is the structure of a document consisting of one page.
A two–page document is the structure of a document consisting of two pages. The order of pages can be either arbitrary or
predefined.
A document with a predefined page order is the structure of a document consisting of several pages that go in a predefined order.
The structure types mentioned above are standard and do not require a special description. All you need to do is enter the information
requested by the program.
