Automatic master pages

[MarttiP]

Hi,

Is it possible to have different master page for first page and selected pair of left/right master pages for the rest of elements. So, something like:

element X starts a page sequence (X_first page, X_left/X_right..)

element Y starts a page sequence (Y_first_page, Y_left/Y_right..)

i can get 1. page different with "single" span in StructMasterPageMap and rest of the pages with default left/right master paging, but not with specific left/right pairs.

BR, Martti

Martti,

FM looks at every page for the occurrence of a trigger (paragraph or element) to apply a master page mapping rule. It uses the first trigger found.

If your structure is kind of hierarchical you can use the EDD to apply different Context Labels to the elements in part X and part Y. This allows you to use that context label in the MasterPageMappings table. My first look would be to detect something that is 100% likely to appear on the page after the X/Y title page and then set the matching mapping rule to "Until changed".
