+ These macros implement the headers and footers for the newsletter format.
+ The macros accept three parameters: text that is to appear flush-left on
+ the line, text that should be centered, and text that should be flush-right
+ on the line. Parameters can be omitted by specifying empty braces ({}).
+
+ The following macros are defined for headers and footers:
+
+ \evenpageheader{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
+ \oddpageheader{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
+ \evenpagefooter{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
+ \oddpagefooter{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
+
+ If the headers/footers are the same for even & odd pages, the following
+ macros can be used instead of the four above:
+
+ \pageheader{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
+ \pagefooter{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
+
+ Additional header/footer definitions:
+
+ \pageheaderlinetrue - A line should extend below header text
+ \pageheaderlinefalse - Header does NOT have a line
+ \pagefooterlinetrue - A line should extend above footer text
+ \pagefooterlinefalse - Footer does NOT have a line
+ \headfootrule=Xpt - Thickness of header/footer lines
+ \pageheaderskip=Xpt - \vskip between header and line
+ \pagefooterskip=Xpt - \vskip between footer and line
+ \headfont=\fontname - Font to use for header text
+ \footfont=\fontname - Font to use for footer text
+
+ Example:
+
+ \pageheader{}{My Newsletter}{}
+ \pagefooter{#1}{}{\pageno}
+
+ Defaults:
+
+ \pageheaderlinefalse \pagefooterlinefalse
+ \pageheaderskip=4pt \pageheaderskip=4pt
+ \pageheader{}{}{} \pagefooter{}{}{}
