What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Mono Index does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves
running head of three monospaced fields over a hairline; folio foot over a hairline; constant 62px side margins (fixed height — nothing placed in it may grow)
Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data
numbered sections; monospaced key/value spec rows; band, leave, stipend, severity, rotation and notice table rows; bracket checklist items; escalation steps; contents rows; changelog lines
Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking
the prose under any spec key; the founder's note; section standfirsts; the six operating principles; table cell prose; acknowledgement affirmations
Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks
running head at the top and folio at the bottom of every page; side margins and the 140px spec-key column constant across all pages
Order on the pageWhat sits after what
contents after the founder's note; the principles page before section 1; sections run in number order; the acknowledgement follows the notice table; the contact index follows the acknowledgement — each may start a new page
Page breaksWhat may split, what must not
a section may split across pages; a spec row, a table row, an escalation step and the signature block must not
Last pageHow the document ends
the acknowledgement and the contact index may occupy the final page alone; running head, folio and the hairlines carry that page
