Steel Measure

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Steel Measure does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves

constant 78px side margins; the topline rule carrying issuer and order number; the foot rule carrying the order number and folio

Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data

order lines (rows hanging off the numeral gutter; column heads repeat on page break); numbered conditions

Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking

the authorising sentence and its qualifying note; supplier, deliver-to and invoice-to blocks; conditions list

Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks

topline rule at the head and foot rule at the foot of every page; the measure and the numeral gutter hold their x-positions on every page

Order on the pageWhat sits after what

order detail strip after the authorising sentence; parties after that; the order table next; totals stack after the table; conditions after totals; authorisation last

Page breaksWhat may split, what must not

the order table and the conditions list may split across pages; the totals stack and the authorisation block must not

Last pageHow the document ends

the totals stack, conditions and authorisation may occupy the final page alone — every section is announced by a right-hung label on a full-measure rule, so a page that opens on the totals still reads as part of the same document, and the foot rule repeats the order number
