okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about PDF::FromHTML::Template::Container::Footer 💖 — the little template container whose whole job is giving you footer text and telling the template where the footer starts, for looping purposes. yes, looping. it's giving "the bottom of every page is my moment" energy 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

PDF::FromHTML::Template::Container::Footer — provides footer text, and specifies where the footer starts, for looping. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🦋 NODE NAME 🦋

FOOTER

like, that's what you call it in your markup. that's its name. iconic. periodt 💅

💜 INHERITANCE 💜

PDF::FromHTML::Template::Container::Margin

it's a child of Margin, so it's got that family lineage going on 🫶

✨ ATTRIBUTES ✨

  • FOOTER_HEIGHT — the amount reserved for the footer, measured from the bottom of the page. so like, how much room at the bottom you're claiming for your footer moment 💅

🎀 CHILDREN 🎀

None

no children here. it's a childless icon. main character energy, honestly 🌈

🔥 AFFECTS 🔥

Indicates to LOOP tags where to pagebreak. so it's basically telling the LOOP tag "hey bestie, this is where you break the page, k? thx" 😭

🍓 DEPENDENCIES 🍓

None

zero dependencies, self-sufficient queen 👑

🌈 USAGE 🌈

okay so here's how you actually use it, no cap:

<pagedef>
  ... Stuff here ...
  <footer footer_height="1i">
    ... Children here will render on every page ...
  </footer>
</pagedef>

see how it's nested inside <pagedef>? and everything you put inside the <footer> renders on every single page 🦋 that's the magic. footer_height="1i" is you setting how much bottom-of-page real estate it gets ✨
