[reportlab-users] Page headings in platypus

[Robert Young]

Sorry if this is a repost, I didn't see an echo so I don't know if it
made it through the first time...

 

 

I am trying to write code that will place a "continued" heading on a
page. I have added all the "paragraphs" to a "story" and once they are
all added, I use the build method and can place global page headers with
no p[problem. However, I want to add a section heading when the data
flows on to the next page. For example, the data looks like this:

 

Section 1

  Line 1

  Line 2

  Line 3

  ...

  Line n

Section 2

  Line 1

  Line 2

  Line 3

  ...

  Line n

 

When a section flows on to a new page, I want to add the heading
"Section 1 (continued)." The problem is, the pagination occurs long
after the "story" is built, so I have no idea where the break is
occurring, and I don't really want to hard code a break anyhow.

 

How can I detect during the build where a break occurs, and how can I
determine the appropriate data to print at that time? Is there such an
attribute as a paragraph header?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

-      Robert
