Headers and Footers

  • 3 minutes to read

Overview

Each section in the document can have its own set of headers and footers. If no headers or footers are defined for a given section, the headers and footers from the previous section (if any) are used. The header (or footer) can be different for odd pages, even pages or the first page.

Client API

The following client commands are available for manipulating headers/footers programmatically. Call the commands in the notation given below:

clientRichEditName.commands.commandName.execute(parameter_if_any)
