Customizing Header and Footer for Booklet

Customizing Header

The header content is inherited from the documentation title added on the Settings page of the build profile. If you want to provide a specific input in the header section different from the documentation title, you need to customize the header.

For example, if you want to display the header text as "Test Documentation" in red color with a slightly increased font size, follow the steps below.

  1. Go to the build profile related to the booklet Project Explorer tab, right-click, and select Edit.
  2. Select Header and Footer option.
  3. Go to XHTML - Header tab and paste the below code.
    You can also input the header information in the Design tab.
    Example Code
    Copy Code 
    <table style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; vertical-align: bottom; font-family:
serif; font-size: 25pt; color: #FF0000;" width="100%"
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: right; font-weight: bold;" width="50%">Test Documentation</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

    Now, if you look into the Design tab, you see the updated header information displaying Test Documentation in red color with an increased font size. You can also preview the input in the Preview tab, which helps you make adjustments and observe real-time changes before finalizing the design.

For example, if you want to display the header with an image, here’s how to do it in a few simple steps.

  1. First, ensure that the image you want to use in both the booklet's header and footer is available in the Project Explorer.
  2. Go to the build profile related to the booklet in the Project Explorer tab, and then right-click, and select Edit.

    For example, consider adding the cyber secure logo image to the header section.
    Example Code
    Copy Code 
    <div><img style="width: 100%" src="images/CyberSecure_Logo.jpg" /></div>
  5. Select Save All and repeat the same procedure for the Footer section by editing the XHTML - Footer tab.
