I´ve found this great project. Currently i´m developing a projectmanagment tool, which creates complete project handbooks automatically. I´ve started with MS Word, but this was absolutly horrible.
So i´ve started with AODL. Wow, simply, workable and fast.
But it seems, that this project is nearly dead. Is it so ?
On th eother hand, i need some help.
DOcumentation is not "so" great. I can see some functions, but nothing special how to use them. I´m developing in C#
How can i : - insert PageBreaks - TOC started with "1." not with "1.1." - changing pagesize in ONE document, changing layout for ONE page from landscape to portrait - adding Heading and REAL Footers (not footer like in the examples)
If anyone can help me, this would be fine.
I´m willing to writie some text and howtos for this tool in german, for our mycsharp.de forum
Thanks, and merry christmas

Any concrete examples of why so?

You can always contribute It's free / open source project.

use Break-Before property for Paragraph properties for Page Break

> I´m willing to writie some text and howtos for this tool in german, for our mycsharp.de forum There are not many texts in english I am not saying german is bad, it's that english is the default language, and AODL project would benefit from your writings if they would be in english!
Merry Christmas

Tried it with paragraph and ParagraphStyle, no changes.
Code:
ParagraphStyle paragraphPageBreak = new ParagraphStyle(document, "PageBreak");
paragraphPageBreak.ParagraphProperties.BreakBefore = "true";
document.Styles.Add(paragraphPageBreak);
nor this :
Code:
Paragraph paragraphPageBreak = new Paragraph(document);
paragraphPageBreak.ParagraphStyle.ParagraphProperties.BreakBefore = "true";
document.Content.Add(paragraphPageBreak);
What is wrong ?

Shit

That would be great.
>> - adding Heading and REAL Footers (not footer like in the examples)
>what do you mean/
Normally you can add to each Page a HeaderArea and FooterArea, which are on each page. Some Images and static content in the Header, actual Pagenumber in the Footer.
