Thank you very much, for your answer, I will definitely play with it.
When I change the page template, do it means, the doc.page
builtin variable gets zeroed at the next page template?

Or is there some builtin variables, like
- total page number
- page number within the page template ?

Doing my own class make sense, as I already instantiated from
SimpleDocTemplate, just I need to modify a little to have
BaseDocTemplate as parent.


Also just out of curiosity, is there some way to pass a variable
to the process method?
Something like story.append(myvariable=4) ....

Best regards,
 Laszlo
