CSS selectors for left/center/right page headers/footers

Question

I am happy that I can specify paginated print header/footer formatting overrides directly in the document metadata, ie.

Header Font: Times New Roman

However it would be optimal if my custom CSS could directly style the header and footer lines. Are there selectors which can be used for that, or could there be?

It would also be an improvement if there could be a Center definition:

Print Header Center: %title
Print Footer Center: %page

You could support this in per-document metadata even before you figured out a way to squeeze it into the Settings / Export Pane UI!

Brett Terpstra · Answer

A centered block in the header/footer gets complex with the various export formats, and gets really hard to avoid overlapping while still providing enough room for variable text. So I've not implemented it yet.

It would be feasilbe, though, to allow metadata to define the placeholders in the left/right header/footer. I'll consider that for a future release.
