Hi, Do you plan to add Header and Footer option to the module?

Hi @itamartz - Yes at some point, time permitting.

Hi, Any News regrds Header and Footer?

BR, Itamar

@itamartz I've managed to catch up on the backlog of issues and this one is next on the list (finally!). Do you still want/need this functionality and do you have any particular requirements?

• Would a single header/footer throughout the document (with an option to not include the first page) be sufficient? This should be fairly simple to implement.
• Would you need a different header/footer per "section". This would be a lot more complicated to implement and take longer.

An example DSL implementation:

Document Example {
    Style -Name Centered -Align Center
    Header MyCustomHeader {
        Paragraph 'My Custom Heading' -Style Centered
    }

    Paragraph ...
    Table ....

    Footer MyCustomFooter {
        Paragraph 'Page $[PageNumber] of $[TotalPages]' -Style Centered
    }
}

Thanks, Iain

One header is fine, without the first page. Also allow to put table in the header/fotter and page numbers.

Tnx

My vote is for option 1. Option to have separate first page header/footer, and page numbers would be ideal.

@iainbrighton Hi, Any progress regrds this?

BR, Itamar

@itamartz It's pretty much done! I've pushed my working branch so you can take a look. I won't merge this into dev until the current dev code is published as people are asking for this to be done soon.

Check out the new examples and take them for a spin. Let me know if you see any strange behaviour!

Hi, I play with this, and is fine but how I can enter the path for the file for example with out putting a text infront, Or Add a Image \ Logo without the text before.

BR, Itamar

@itamartz There is no support for images in headers/footers and I don't think there ever will be. To do so would require being able to have PScribo tables support images.

I'm not sure I understand the file path question. It's just PowerShell so you should be able to grab the filename from the $PSCommandPath environment variable, e.g.

Document FilenameExample {
    Header -Default {
        Paragraph "Filename: $PSCommandPath"
    }
}

[iainbrighton]

~\Desktop\Document.ps1

[CmdletBinding()]
param
(
    [Parameter()]
    [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] 
    [String] $StylePath
)

Document CallScopes {

    # Set Document Style
    if ($StylePath) {
        .$StylePath
    }
    
    & "$PSScriptRoot\Report.ps1" -StylePath $StylePath
}

~\Desktop\Report.ps1

[CmdletBinding()]
param
(
    [String] $StylePath
)

## Report.ps1

# If custom style not set, use default style
if (!$StylePath) {
    & "$PSScriptRoot\DefaultStyles.ps1"
}

Section Test {
    Paragraph 'Test Paragraph'
}

~\DefaultStyles.ps1

## DefaultStyles.ps1

Header -Default -IncludeOnFirstPage -ScriptBlock {
    Paragraph 'Default Header'
}

Footer -Default -IncludeOnFirstPage -ScriptBlock {
    Paragraph 'Default Footer'
}

~\Desktop\Styles.ps1

## Styles.ps1

Header -Default -IncludeOnFirstPage -ScriptBlock {
    Paragraph 'Custom Header'
}

Footer -Default -IncludeOnFirstPage -ScriptBlock {
    Paragraph 'Custom Footer'
}

Running this results in no error?
