The names of section formats must end in Section. The default section format is named Section. Table 7-8 lists the properties you can define for sections.

|
start side |
right, left, or page (default); indicates which page type starts the section; page means the section starts on the next page, regardless of page type; and if first page=Yes, applies first-page headers and footers, regardless of page type |
mirror margins |
Yes or No; if Yes, and if document property two sided is Yes, left and right margins of each left page are exchanged, so that inner margins of both left and right pages are equal to the right page's left margin, and outer margins of both pages are equal to the right page's right margin |
page number type |
Num (default), UCAlpha, LCAlpha, UCRom, or LCRom; see Table 8-2 |
page number start |
First value to use, a digit regardless of type; 1 could indicate 1, A, a, I, or i. depending on the value of page number type. |
orient |
|
page wide page high |
Any CSS units for the physical page dimensions, such as in or mm. |
margin left margin right margin top margin bottom |
Distances from the edge of the paper to the edge of the body area (which may have multiple columns), ignoring any header or footer |
first space above |
Distance from the normal top margin of the body area to the top margin for the first page |
gutter |
Width; if document property two sided =Yes, adds to the right page's left margin and the left page's right margin; if not two sided, adds to the left margin of every page; |
column count |
Number of columns; if more than one, columns are snaking, top to bottom, left to right |
column rule |
Yes or No (default); if Yes, and column count > 1, adds a single thin balck line between columns, that is just long enough to reach the bottom of the longest column content (not the bottom of the body area) |
border left border right border top border bottom |
Names of border formats that surround the body area (see §8.2 Defining border format components) or None |
border header border footer |
Yes or No; if Yes, the page border also surrounds the header and footer, not just the body area |

|
footer bottom |
|
first page |
Yes or No; if Yes, use the first-page header and footer, if any |
header first footer first |
Names of header and footer formats for first pages (see §7.8.3 Configuring page header and footer formats) or None; used only if first page=Yes |
header left footer left |
Names of header and footer formats for even pages, if document property two sided =Yes, or None |
