4.2    Page Sequences

A page sequence element <text:page-sequence> specifies a sequence of master pages that are instantiated in exactly the same order as they are referenced in the page sequence. If a text document contains a page sequence, it will consist of exactly as many pages as specified. Documents with page sequences do not have a main text flow consisting of headings and paragraphs as is the case for documents that do not contain a page sequence. Text content is included within text boxes for documents with page sequences. The only other content that is permitted are drawing objects.

Example: Page Sequence

<style:automatic-style>

                <style:page-layout name="pm1">

                                <!-- portrait page -->

                </style:page-layout>

                <style:page-layout name="pm2">

                                <!-- landscape page -->

                </style:page-layout>

</style:automatic-style>

...

<style:master-styles>

                <style:master-page name="portrait" style:page-layout-name="pm1"/>

                <style:master-page name="landscape" style:page-layout-name="pm2"/>

</style:master-styles>

...

<office:body>

                <text:page-sequence>

                                <text:page text:master-page-name="portrait"/>

                                <text:page text:master-page-name="portrait"/>

                                <text:page text:master-page-name="landscape"/>

                                <text:page text:master-page-name="landscape"/>

                                <text:page text:master-page-name="portrait"/>

                </text:page-sequence>

                <draw:frame ...>
