field overflow example

<fields>
    <field name="Tekst_1-2">
        <type>html</type>
        <output>
            <allowoverflow>no</allowoverflow>
            <allowpageoverflow>yes</allowpageoverflow>            <-- field may continue on next page -->
            <dimensions><x>20</x><y>85</y><w>82.5</w><h>180</h></dimensions>
            <verticalalign>top</verticalalign>
        </output>
        <input>....</input>
    </field>
    <field name="Tekst_2-2" isContinuation="yes">      <!-- continuation of previous field -->
        <type>html</type>
        <output>
            <allowoverflow>no</allowoverflow>
            <dimensions><x>107.5</x><y>85</y><w>82.5</w><h>180</h></dimensions>
            <verticalalign>top</verticalalign>
        </output>
    </field>
</fields>

Implementation

<output><allowpageoverflow>yes</allowpageoverflow> makes a field overflow to the same rectangle on new pages

Field attribute isContinuation makes a field the continuation of the previous field. The input of the previous field will continue in this field.

Order

The engine will first overflow a text to the continuation of the field, and then to the next page.
