Including Headers and Footers in Generated Albums

Including headers and footers

Headers appear on index pages, not on individual slide pages; footers appear on both index and slide pages.

A header may be included in one of two ways:

  • Use a meta.properties file
  • Create the header in a file with the name ‘header.inc’ and place the file in the same folder of images on whose index page the header is to appear.

A footer may be included in one of two ways:

  • Use a meta.properties file
  • Create the footer in a file with the name ‘footer.inc’ and place the file in the same folder of images on whose index and slide pages the footer is to appear.

For advanced users, a clever use of the header and footer is to enclose the comment in HTML (the header can contain the opening HTML tag and the footer can contain the closing HTML tag).

Note: Although headers and footers can come from different sources, only one header and one footer will be displayed. If there is header or footer specified in a ‘meta.properties’ file AND in a ‘header.inc’ or ‘footer.inc’ file the one specified in the ‘meta.properties’ takes precedence and will be displayed.
