6.10 Customizing the page footer

It is possible to add text just before the </body> element with the variable $PRE_BODY_CLOSE. Nothing is added by default.

A user name and a date are collected to be output in the footer. You can change them by defining $USER and $DATE in the initialization file.

The default functions call the function associated with $print_foot_navigation to format the navigation panel for the page footer. Thus you can control parts of the formatting by redefining the function reference.

Function Reference: print_foot_navigation $filehandle \@buttons

$filehandle is the opened filehandle the function should write to. \@buttons is an array reference which should hold the specification of the buttons for the navigation panel.

If you want even more control, you can have full control the page footer formatting by redefining three function references. The function associated with $print_chapter_footer is called if the document is split at chapters, or the function associated with $print_section_footer is called if the document is split at sections. After that the function associated with $print_page_foot is called.

Function Reference: print_page_foot $filehandle

$filehandle is the opened filehandle the function should write to. This function should print the page foot, including the </body> element.

Function Reference: print_chapter_footer $filehandle

$filehandle is the opened filehandle the function should write to. This function is called if the document is split at chapters, before print_page_foot.

Function Reference: print_section_footer $filehandle

$filehandle is the opened filehandle the function should write to. This function is called if the document is split at sections, before print_page_foot.
