Usage
Use the cfdocumentsection tag to divide a report into sections. Within each cfdocumentsection tag, you can use one or more cfdocumentitem tags to specify unique headers and footers for each section. When using cfdocumentsection, ColdFusion MX ignores HTML and CFML not enclosed within cfdocumentsection tags. The margin attributes override margins specified in previous sections or in the parent cfdocument tag. If you specify margin attributes, the units are controlled by the unit attribute of the parent cfdocument tag; the unit attribute has a default value of inches. |
