Open Quote

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Open Quote does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves

constant margins; the masthead rule at the top of every page; the foot rule carrying the case reference

Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data

figure entries in the right-hand column; narrative sections in the left column; rollout rows

Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking

the opening quotation; every narrative section body; the measurement note; rollout row descriptions

Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks

masthead rule at the page top and foot rule at the page bottom on every page; the two body columns hold their widths on every page

Order on the pageWhat sits after what

attribution after the quotation; the fact line after the attribution; the two-column body after the fact line; the rollout register after the body; the closing line last

Page breaksWhat may split, what must not

the narrative column and the figure column may each split across pages; the quotation and any single figure entry must not

Last pageHow the document ends

the rollout register and closing line may occupy the final page alone; the masthead and foot rules carry it
