For information about Control Scripts in general, see "Control Scripts" on page545 and
"Control Script API" on page797. If you don't know how to write scripts, see "Writing your own
scripts" on page528.
How to change page numbering in a control script
A Control Script can make the page numbering continue over all Print sections or let it restart
on a section. This is done by setting the restartPageNumber field on a section to true or false.
For example: merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections['Section 2'].restartPageNumber =
true;. (Also see "section" on page800 and "Control Script API" on page797.)
Page numbering starts with page 1 for each section. If for a section restartPageNumber is set to
false, that section will start with the page number following the last page of the previous
section.
Note that even if a section is not enabled (so it will not be outputted), its restartPageNumber flag
is still taken into account for composing the page number sequences.
By default, each section has restartPageNumber = false when the first control script runs.
Tip
If you are looking to create a table of contents, add a template script that uses the pageRef()
function. For an example, see "pageRef()" on page781.
Examples
Restarting the page numbers several times
Assume that a template has four sections (of 1 page each) in the Print context and a Control
Script sets the page numbering as follows:
1. Section A (1 page) restartPageNumber = true
2. Section B (1 page) restartPageNumber = true
3. Section C (1 page) restartPageNumber = false
4. Section D (1 page) restartPageNumber = true
The code would look like this:
