Hello Mike,

Is there a way to vertically justify text on page with orphans and widows set to 2, so the text frames on different pages have same height?

What is the behaviour of "line-stacking-strategy" CSS property? Can it be used for baseline alignment of text?

Is it possible to not print footer on last page of e.g. chapter?
I have tried to use hack like:

div.chapter > p:last-of-type:after {
position: absolute;
bottom: -2cm;
width: 10cm;
background: white;
height: 2cm;
left: 3cm;
z-index: 1000;
}

to put a white rectangle over footer, but in pdf footer have higher z-index than any main flow elements. May be it's possible to adjust z-index of headers an footers?

Thank you!

No, there is no mechanism in CSS for this. Maybe one day.


Yes it can help with this, by setting it to grid-height as described in the spec. Things can get complicated when variable height images are involved, though.


You could flow a block to the footer at the beginning of every chapter, and flow an empty block at the end of the chapter. Trying to physically draw over the footer sounds a little fragile.
