288.0. "Help with page numbering" by CAADC::MURSEWICK () Wed Apr 22 1987 15:11

    This is a request for those of us who do not have access to a two
    sided page printer. The request: can you come up with a way to put
    page number on just the right side of the page bottom. I realize
    this is the way it has to be for most documentation. However in
    the field we do many short documents and one sided documents are
    fine. It is just that the page numbers and footers switch from side
    to side. Can you create a tag to force page numbering and footers
    to the right side of the page??? Another option might be to eliminate
    the footers and center the page number. What are the possibilities
    of getting something like this incorporated?

Not for V1.0 (at this late date), but we'll add it to the wishlist.

    It is doable by creating a 'local' doctype. All you would need to
    change would be the \rightfooterline and \leftfooterline. These
    control the position of the page number.
    
    

	\def\leftheaderline{\rightheaderline}
	\def\leftfooterline{\rightfooterline}

	will do it - all footers/headers will be aligned to the right.
