# Headers & Footers {% hint style="warning" %} **Important**: This feature is only available for PDF export. {% endhint %} ## Adding headers and footers Custom headers and footers can be defined for the pages meant to be exported. These texts will be displayed on all pages in the appropriate header/footer field. On the export dialog's **Formatting tab** a summary shows headers and footers in the **Headers/Footers** section. 1\. To define headers or footers, click on the **Headers/Footers** section:

Enter any text or select some pre-defined fields from the drop-down lists under the text box by selecting it and clicking the

button. Clicking the add button inserts the selected value into the text field next to it.

Content in headers/footers is handled as HTML. This allows text to be formatted using HTML formatting and styles. Inserting images is also possible. For displaying XML/HTML in the header/footer, they have to be manually escaped. 3\. Use the checkbox to show or hide the footers on the cover pages.

## Formatting dates By default dates are shown in the format 'dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm', which produces the following output: 30.08.2022 09:54. 1\. To change the default format, provide a custom date format after the field. The syntax for formatting is the following: ```java [{FIELD_NAME} '{format string}'}]. ``` ### **Fields** The following fields are date fields, so you can use the formatting on them: * `[DOCUMENT_LAST_MODIFIED]` * `[DOCUMENT_CREATED]` * `[EXPORT_DATE]` ### **Format string** Format string is built up from formatting symbols. The following table lists the formatting symbols and their meanings with examples.

Symbol	Date or time component	Example
y	Year	2022, 22
M	Month in year	08
d	Day in month	30
E	Day in week	Wed
H	Hour in 24h format	09
m	Minute	54
s	Second	32

Some examples using the date for last modified: 2022-08-30 09:54:32 | Format | Result | | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | | \[DOCUMENT\_LAST\_MODIFIED 'yyyy.MM.dd. HH:mm'] | 2022.08.30. 09:54 | | \[DOCUMENT\_LAST\_MODIFIED 'dd/MM/yy EEEE'] | 30/08/22 Wednesday | | \[DOCUMENT\_LAST\_MODIFIED 'E d. MMM yyyy'] | Tue 30. Aug 2022 | | \[DOCUMENT\_LAST\_MODIFIED 'HH:mm:ss'] | 09:54:32 | | \[DOCUMENT\_LAST\_MODIFIED 'H:m:s'] | 9:54:32 | Find more details about formatting symbols in the Oracle documentation: [Customizing Formats in java](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/format/simpleDateFormat.html). ## Inserting images into headers and footers 1\. To insert an image, insert the HTML source in the header or the footer: ```html logo

``` 2\. The link of an image may also be inserted from a Confluence space, as long as the exporting user has read permissions for the page containing the image: ```html

``` {% hint style="danger" %} **Important**: Due to current technical limitations, width must be given to resize the image. The height attribute is ignored. {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %} The current version won't be able to show a preview of the image on the Headers & Footers UI. {% endhint %}

## Showing the cover page title By default Content Exporter does not export the title of the cover pages, however, it is possible to show it with the insertion of the following CSS code into the custom stylesheet: ```css .cover-page.front-cover .wiki-title { display: block; } .cover-page.back-cover .wiki-title { display: block; } ``` For more information, see [Custom Stylesheets](/content-exporter-confluence/user-guides/before-exporting/custom-stylesheets.md). ## Page numbering The first and last numbered page can be selected: Cover page, Table of Contents, first exported page. {% hint style="info" %} **Note:** The document hierarchy is the following. 1. Front cover page 2. Table of contents (can be multiple pages) 3. Exported page(s) 4. Back cover page {% endhint %}

| Starts on | Definition | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Cover page (Default) | The page counting starts from the cover page (if it is exists). | | Table of Contents | The page numbering starts on the Table of Contents page. | | First exported page | The page counting starts in the first exported page (after the Table of Contents). | | Ends on | Definition | | ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | Last exported page | Ends on the last exported page before the back cover page. | | Back cover page (Default) | The counting stops at the end of your back cover page. | --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
