Template: Labels filled out from left to right
This section explains how to set up a template to generate output pages with multiple labels arranged in the sequence below (left to right):
(If you prefer to fill the labels from top to bottom instead, please refer to the section, Template: Labels filled out from top to bottom)
The first step is to insert a container in the page element where you set the flow direction to be horizontal (Row):
In this example we use a repeat to print out the values from 1 to 20, but you would normally use the repeat to iterate across each of the detail lines in the input file:
Inside the repeat a container for a single label is inserted (with a dynamic position). The size of the container label is here set to a fixed size:
The width of the label is set to match a portrait A4 page with a margin of 6 mm on both left and right.
(An A4 is 21 cm wide, which makes 19.8 cm the available space for both columns).
