Do you intend to one day support all the paged media bits in pagedjs? I assume it works with their polyfill but it’d be great to have a built in more performant

Do you intend to one day support all the paged media bits in pagedjs? I assume it works with their polyfill but it’d be great to have a built in more performant option.
- radva42 7mo agoCan you give an example? I'm not that familiar with pagedjs, just pulled it for the benchmark. My library has support for @page rules, but that's actually pretty basic. I needed more advanced headers/footers and added support for in-html headers/footers like this: In your <body> you cna define headers/footers by wrapping content in a <section> tag. For example: <body> <section> <header>... any HTML here, full CSS support</header> <div> Some normal flow content</div> <footer>Your footer HTML</footer> </section> </body> This structure is purely optional, but it's a really convinient way of designing pages with different styles in the same document. An HTML file can have any number of these sections meaning you can generate a PDF with different headers/footers. Some other bits: It has support for 100% height that match the entire page, it can handle forced page breaks inside flexbox containers (Chrome doesn't even try ... just ignores it) and also follows page-break: avoid correctly - so it doesn't randomly split table rows for example.
- thom 7mo agoThings like string-set and string (repeating section headers on each page), counter and target-counter (embedding page number references) etc. Prince and pagedjs support all the CSS3 paged media bits I've found myself needing, just wondering if that was on the roadmap.
- radva42 7mo agoI see. Yes, those are on the roadmap.
