306.0. "\if0#2 is what?" by DLO06::DAVIS (Jerry Davis @DLO 451-2929) Fri Apr 24 1987 18:05

    I have looked in the DTP files to make a few local doctype changes
    and what I want to do is to change the \right and \left footerlines
    
    I am a little bit puzzled (since I am a NOVICE), I cannot find what
    a \if0#2 does.  Is that the way to tell if you are on an odd page
    or not?
    
    And BTW how do you know what page you are on, anyway.
    
    What I really wish to do, is to make page numbers, headers and footers
    appear in the same place no matter what page number it happens to
    be.  Most of our stuff is single pages anyway and does not really
    look well to have page numbers on either the left or right hand
    part of the page on successive pages.

    To allow footers to appear at the same place on every page, you
    must define rightfooterline and leftfooterline to place the number
    at the same location, ie
      \def\rightfooterline{
        \hbox to \physicalpagewidth{\hss\footerfont\strut\rightfooter}
      }
    
      \def\leftfooterline{
        \hbox to \physicalpagewidth{\hss\footerfont\strut\rightfooter}
      }
    
    Good Luck
