DokuWiki

Two new syntax tags to support frames have been added (frame-open and frame-close) in release 2016-04-23. Together with CSS they can be used to specify a layout for the exported ODT document.

There might be several use cases for it but e.g. you can use it to specify the layout for writing a letter. The following example code sections show a CSS template page content and an example letter page content.

Example template page content:

templatepage.txt

/**
 * These is an example for ODT styles coded in CSS
 * for the DokuWiki basic formatting tags.
 *
 * Do not edit this file. Instead add your own styles in
 * the configured template directory ('tpl_dir') and set it under
 * config option 'odt_template'.
 * 
 * Notice: this is pseudo CSS. It can include elements or properties
 *         which are not known to CSS but exist in ODT format as ODT XML
 *         attributes or which have meaning to the ODT plugin only.
 *
 * P.S.: to be able to upload CSS files with the media manager
 *       you need to edit DokuWiki's mime config file.
 *       See https://www.dokuwiki.org/mime for more information.

If you export it, then the resulting document will have the destination address at the right position for german A4 letter envelopes and two markers showing where the sheet should be folded.

If you play around with frames it might be useful to see a border to check the positioning of a frame. To have a border just set a border color in the CSS properties of the frame, e.g. border-color: black;. Also see the out commented code in example template page.

The browser layout of a wiki page is not affected by the ODT frames syntax tags.
