Re: [Rlib-devel] making text output page aware

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Nabil,

Pagination is done by what fits on a page.  In PDF mode the page footer
and the page header approach each other, when the two meet it is time
for a new page.

Hints:

in txt.c

in: void rlib_txt_new_output_filter(rlib *r) 

OUTPUT(r)->paginate = FALSE; will need to be TRUE

rlib_txt_end_page you may want to do something here.....

in reportgen.c

get_output_size

HINT: Some of this logic will have to be moved down into the output
filters.


Cheers,

- Bob
