What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Gutter Rule does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves
folio strip at the top of every page; footer contact strip
Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data
approach steps; scope items; schedule rows; fee split rows
Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking
brief and approach prose; scope item descriptions; fee terms note; acceptance sentence
Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks
folio strip at page top; footer strip at page bottom
Order on the pageWhat sits after what
the two-column measure follows the deck and meta strip; the investment panel follows the measure; the acceptance block follows the investment panel
Page breaksWhat may split, what must not
either column of the measure may split across pages and the gutter rule redraws per page; the investment panel and the acceptance block must not split
Last pageHow the document ends
the investment panel and acceptance block may occupy the final page alone; folio and footer strips carry it

The pairing this design was drawn around, laid out as a Two-column magazine on A4 portrait. Either face can be swapped in the editor — the layout holds on the grid, not on a font's metrics.
