Define Pagination Rules
Pagination means the creation of pages by flowing the actual content in the intended layout. Pagination rules help you define the conditions based on which you want to create pages for publication. A pagination rule can be one of the following three categories:
-
Condition for pagination: For example, in a content model for a book, you can define a condition that if the content for the section Preface is not available, do not create a page for the section Preface.
-
Master page or master page rule to be used for pagination: For example, in a content model for a book, you can set master page X to create the Imprint page, master page Y to create the Preface page, and master page rule C to create chapter pages.
-
The sequence of pagination: For example, in a content model for a book, you can change the sequence of the sections by keeping the section Preface before the section Imprint.
To define pagination rules:
-
From the header ribbon bar, select Windows > Smart Content Flow Planning to open the Smart Content Flow Planning palette.
The Smart Content Flow Planning palette lists all the master pages and master page rules you have defined in your current QuarkXPress project.
-
In the Smart Content Flow Planning palette, select and drag a master page or master page rule to the bottom half of the palette to apply and configure it based on your content model schema.
In the current example, we have applied only one pagination rule, i.e. to use the master page rule Sample Report Sequence for the content model UG Sample Report.
