The Print context is created and one Print section is added to it. You can see this on the
Resources pane: expand the Contexts folder, and then expand the Print folder.
The Print context can contain multiple sections: a covering letter and a policy, for
example, or one section that is meant to be attached to an email as a PDF file and
another one that is going to be printed out on paper. Only one Print section is added to it
at the beginning, but you can add as many print sections as you need; see "Print context"
on the previous page.
See "Print sections" on page284 to learn how to fill a Print section.
l
One Master Page is added to the template, as can be seen on the Resources pane, in
the Master Page folder.
In Print sections, there are often elements that need to be repeated across pages, like
headers, footers and logos. In addition, some elements should appear on each first page,
or only on pages in between the first and the last page, or only on the last page.
Examples are a different header on the first page, and a tear-off slip that should show up
on the last page.
This is what Master Pages are used for. Master Pages can only be used in the Print
context.
See "Master Pages" on page299.
Initially, the (empty) master page that has been created with the Print context will be
applied to all pages in the Print section, but more Master Pages can be added and
applied to different pages.
l
One Media is added to the template, as is visible on the Resources pane, in the Media
folder. This folder can hold the company's stationery in the form of PDF files. When
applied to a page in a Print section, Media can help prevent the contents of a Print section
from colliding with the contents of the stationery. See "Media" on page302 to learn how to
add Media and, optionally, print them.
Initially, the (empty) media that has been created with the Print context, is applied to all
pages in the Print section. You can add more Media and apply them each to different
pages.
l
One Stylesheet, named context_print_styles.css, is added to the template, as you can
see on the Resources pane, in the Stylesheets folder. This stylesheet is meant to be
used for styles that are only applied to elements in the Print context. See also "Styling
templates with CSS files" on page454.
