Pour section's header and footer from previous section / with default one

[gilleschapron]

Hi @davidgohel and officer's user,

I have to produce a document with a template (just one page with a header - a logo - and a footer - a table with title, date, page etc.).
When I do a body_end_block_section():

• next section keep the header/footer of my template
• but the previous have not (prop_section(header_default) and prop_section(footer_default) are NULL by default)

Is it possible to:

• keep headers and footers through sections
• or after I read my template, to retrieve my header and footer and call them into prop_section(xxx_default)

I try naively with no success:

doc <- read_docx(path = "template.docx"))

test_head <- block_list(doc$headers)
test_foot <- block_list(doc$footers)

ps_portrait <- prop_section(
  page_size = page_size(orient = "portrait"),
  header_default = test_head,
  footer_default = test_foot
)

doc <- doc |>
  body_end_block_section(
    value = block_section(property = ps_portrait)
  )

Thanks

I've got the same problem. Does anyone know any solution to this?

Hello,

The new parameters of print: copy_header_refs and copy_footer_refs are really close to solve my problem!
But:

• template margins are not recovered : it's ok, I can easily adjust margins with prop_section(page_margins(...))
• sections are set to ‘differentiate odd and even pages’ whereas template configuration is not: I can't find how to disable this setting 🫤, how can I do that ?
