Print Templates, Part V: Re-pagination

A Final Word

In this column we continued our series on print templates. We explained how to impact the page formatting when there is a change in the zoom factor. We taught you how to install a new event handler to check whether re-pagination is needed or not. We showed you how to hide excess pages in a very efficient way. We described the zoom entry GUI, and how it affects the page layout. We scanned through the initialization section and revised the process of converting STYLE rules to style objects.

In this column you have learned:

• How to write the print template template7.html
• How to prompt the user for a new zoom factor
• How to change the zoom factor of the document
• How to hide excess pages
• How to initialize the print template

You could see the full code listing of template7 on Page 7. You could load it from the enclosed zipped file.
