The .LAYOUT command rearranges running-head and running-foot information on pages. (See the .HEADERS ON command.) When the default .LAYOUT operates, page numbering is not displayed on the first page, it starts on page 2. Format .LAYOUT n1 [,n2] Abreviated format .LO n1 [,n2]
1 – Parameters
n1 A number from 0 to 3 that specifies one of the following arrangements of running head information: .LAYOUT 0 Restores the standard arrangement of title and subtitle in the upper left of a page, and page number and date in the upper right. .LAYOUT 1 Titles and subtitles are centered at the tops of pages. Page numbers are centered at the bottom. No date is output. .LAYOUT 2 Titles and subtitles appear at the top right of right-hand (odd-numbered) pages and at the top left of left-hand (even-numbered) pages. Page numbers are centered at the bottom. No date is output. .LAYOUT 3 Gives the standard page arrangement for title and subtitle (as in .LAYOUT 0), but with the addition of running-page numbers centered at the bottom of pages between two hyphens (for example, - 23 -). Running-page numbers are consecutive through the entire document rather than within chapters; they are not affected by the .NO NUMBER or .NUMBER PAGE commands. (See also .NUMBER RUNNING.) n2 Specifies how many lines below the last line of text on a page the number will appear. You must specify n2 if n1 is 1, 2, or 3. If n1 is 0, you cannot specify a value for n2.
