Document remembers page settings Printing Preferences
<div><p>It would be great if metadata could be used on a per document
level to define the Printing Preferences for that document
(margins, header/footer settings etc).</p>
<p>If they are set, they would override what is defined in
Preferences.</p>
<p>At the moment I have to manually change them depending on the
type of document I need to print (CV, report etc).</p>
<p><strong>Great</strong> software by the way! I use nvALT and
Marked for all my print writing when given the choice.</p>
<p>Regards</p>
<p>Steffan</p></div>

<div><p>I'd consider this. I'm already planning to make custom
processor<br>
arguments changeable through metadata, so adding at least margins
and<br>
headers/footers would be handy.</p></div>

Document remembers page settings Printing Preferences
<div><p>Hi Brent,</p>
<p>Since I made this suggestion, header/footer settings can now be
controlled nicely on a per document basis. Thanks!</p>
<p>The other part of my request - to be able to do the same with
document margins - has not been implemented yet.</p>
<p>It surfaced again today when I wanted to match the width of my
printed text column to an image included in the document.</p>
<p>Currently changing it for this document, changes it for all.</p>
<p>So, if it's not considered rude to do so, I'd like to +1 my own
change request :^.</p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>
<p>Steffan</p></div>

Document remembers page settings Printing Preferences
<div><p>Duly noted, but in most cases margin settings are app-wide, not
document<br>
specific, unless you're dealing with a word processor. That will
require<br>
revisions to the print preference storage method, and because
Marked<br>
doesn't actually create its own document, associating them without
using<br>
metadata will be unstable. I can, however, allow MMD metadata in
the<br>
document such as:</p>
<p>margin top: 12<br>
margin left: 20</p>
<p>or a single metadata key like</p>
<p>margin: 20 70 20 100</p>
<p>(top right bottom left)</p>
<p>Would that be useful?</p></div>

<div><p>Hi Brett,</p>
<p>MMD metadata in the document is exactly what I was thinking!</p>
<p>My current template header is:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Author: Steffan Stringer<br>
Date: 09-Jul-2015<br>
Copyright: ©2015<br>
Affiliation: AHPPI<br>
Marked Style: GitHub<br>
Print Header Right: %title<br>
Print Footer Left: %date<br>
Print Footer Right: Page %page of %total</p>
</blockquote>
<p>(populated via TextExpander).</p>
<p>My new header would include your margin line....</p>

<p>I prefer the idea of doing it in one line as it makes the header
shorter. But I guess supporting both methods would give a
choice.</p>
<p>Document settings would override app settings. If there were no
document settings the app settings apply.</p>
<p>That would be the perfect way of doing it for me.</p>
<p>I hope to see it in a future release.</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>

<div><p>Hi Brett,</p>
<p>I'm curious if this was integrated. I'd like to do something
similar: remove the margins so I can use CSS counters for fancier
page/section numbering.</p>
<p>The counters work, but I can't "leave the box". It keeps driving
that counter text to the next page in export. Dont really want to
zero my margins setting for all documents or constantly play the
"settings reset" game (I will if I have to… just don't want
to. ;) ).</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>-Dave C.</p></div>

<div><p>It hasn't been implemented yet, still on the list. However, I
should note that because of the way the OS X print system works,
counters would not be implementable. It would be nearly impossible
to position something on every page using CSS.</p></div>
