It does not limit it-self to one final page of the PDF, but to a set of pages. Any HTML code will be included automatically within the same layout. It is possible to reuse the layout of the previous tag page using property pageset = “old.” This also automatically resume the header and the footer. ## Page Header tag Its allows you to use complex HTML as the header of the current page. Its definition must necessarily be located just after the opening of the `` tag. It can contain any valid HTML. It is **REQUIRED** to specify the top margin, using the `backtop` attribute on the `` tag. You can use ̀`css` and `class` attribute on this specific tag. ## Page Footer tag Its allows you to use complex HTML as the header of the current page. Its definition must necessarily be located just after the opening of the `` tag. It can contain any valid HTML. It is **REQUIRED** to specify the top margin, using the `backtop` attribute on the `` tag. You can use `css` and `class` attribute on this specific tag. ## Margin Explanation Here's a little explanation of different margins: ```html Page Header Page Footer Page Content ``` ```php $pdf = new \Spipu\Html2Pdf\Html2Pdf('P','A4','en', false, 'UTF-8', array(mL, mT, mR, mB)); $pdf->writeHTML($htmlContent); $pdf->Output(); ``` ![Margins](res/margins.jpg "Margins") [back](./README.md)
