Quarto Rule

What happens when your data replaces the sample

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

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves

running head (short title left, reference right) over a hairline; folio foot over a hairline; constant margins; the fixed 46px number column every clause numeral hangs in

Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data

numbered clauses and sub-clauses hanging off the one number column; lettered paragraphs inside a clause; rows of the services, service-level and fee tables in the Schedules; execution columns, one per party

Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking

clause bodies (one line or twelve); recitals; the two party blocks; definition entries; every table cell in the Schedules

Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks

running head at page top and folio at page bottom of every page; number-column width and page margins identical on every page

Order on the pageWhat sits after what

clauses run in number order; Schedule 1 after the last clause; Schedule 2 after Schedule 1; the execution block after Schedule 2 — each may start a new page

Page breaksWhat may split, what must not

a clause group may split across pages and a Schedule table may split with its header repeating; a single sub-clause with its numeral, a party block and the execution block must not

Last pageHow the document ends

the execution block may land on the final page alone; running head, folio, the double rule and the empty number column carry that page
