Headers and footers

You can define custom headers and footers for the pages you want to export. These texts will be displayed on all pages in the appropriate header/footer field.

If you open the export dialog, select the Formatting tab you can see a summary of headers footers in the "Headers/Footers" section

To define headers or footers, just click the "Edit" link on the right in the "Headers/Footers" section:

A dialog will pop-up, where you can set the headers and footers:

You can enter any text or select some pre-defined fields from the drop-down lists below the text area by selecting it and clicking on the add button. Clicking the add button will insert the selected value into the field above at the cursor position.

Content in headers/footers are handled as html. This allows you to format the text using html formatting and styles and also to insert images. If you want to display xml/html in the header/footer, you have to manually escape it. 

Use the checkbox below the footers to show/hide the headers and footers on the cover pages.

Formatting dates

By default dates are shown in the format 'dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm', what produces the following output: 08.02.2017 01:02.

This can be changed by providing a custom date format after the field. The syntax for formatting is the following: [{FIELD_NAME} '{format string}'}].

Fields

The following fields are date fields, so you can use the formatting on them:

• [DOCUMENT_LAST_MODIFIED]

• [DOCUMENT_CREATED]

• [EXPORT_DATE]

Format string

Format string is built up from formatting symbols

Here is a table about the formatting symbols and their meanings:

Examples

Some examples using the date for last modified: 2017-02-08 01:02:03

You can find more details about the formatting symbols, on the Customizing Formats in java page.

Inserting images into header/footer

To insert an image into the header or the footer you have to insert the html source in the header or the footer:

<img width=100px src="https://marketplace-cdn.atlassian.com/files/images/b13b3d13-9943-4692-ae49-40600ec0ad1b.png" alt="logo" border="0">

You may also insert the link of an image from a Confluence space, as long as the exporting user has read permissions for the page containing the image:

<img width=100px src="https://metainf.atlassian.net/wiki/download/thumbnails/70432009/profile-headers_footers.png?version=1&modificationDate=1501685540432&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&width=328&height=250" alt="logo" border="0">

Show cover page's title

By default Content Exporter does not export the title of the cover pages, however, it is possible to show it with the insertion of the following CSS code into our custom stylesheet:

.cover-page.front-cover .wiki-title {
    display: block;
}

.cover-page.back-cover .wiki-title {
    display: block;
}
