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

[Nabil <na...@kr...>]

Ok I worked on this a little bit.. I changed OUTPUT(r)->paginate to  
TRUE and in rlib_text_end_page I added OUTPUT_PRIVATE(r)->page_number+ 
+ ;
This will cause rlib to print the page headers in the correct  
location but all the footers are printed at the same time as the last  
thing in the report after the report footer!!
I dont quite get how get_output_size works so some help would be  
appreciated.
Again thanks in advance for your help.
