Tip
If you are looking to create a table of contents, add a template script that uses the pageRef()
function. For an example, see "Creating a table of contents" on page 508.
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:
if (merge.context.type == ContextType.PRINT) {
merge.context.sections['Section A'].restartPageNumber = true;
merge.context.sections['Section B'].restartPageNumber = true;
merge.context.sections['Section C'].restartPageNumber = false;
merge.context.sections['Section D'].restartPageNumber = true;
}
The page numbering in the output will be:
1. Section A page 1
2. Section B page 1
3. Section C page 2
4. Section D page 1
Disabled section
When a section is disabled, it will not be outputted, but its restartPageNumber flag will still be
taken into account for composing the page number sequences. So, if the restartPageNumber
flags are set as follows:
