Headers and Footers
Headers and footers let you place consistent content at the top and bottom of every page in a report. They are especially important when sending results to online results systems, which parse specific values out of the header block.
Defining a header
Place any content you want at the top of each page between these two markers:
Header
.End of Header
Text inserted between these lines appears at the top of every page. You can also pull in an external file using .include.
To center a line of text within a header, prefix it with the .ce command:
Header
.ce My Race Name
.End of Header
Online results platforms like Race Roster parse a unique results race ID out of your header block. Place that ID between the Header and .End of Header markers.
Defining a footer
The Footer command works identically to Header but places its content at the bottom of each page:
Footer
.ce Page [PAGE] of [PAGES]
.End of Footer
