712.0. "Forcing several lines to the bottom of a page" by CASEE::CLARK (Ward Clark) Mon Jul 27 1987 12:09

    I'd like to create a generic REPORT title-page template that includes
    several lines that would always appear at the bottom of the page
    (similar to a footnote, but in a normal size font).

	    +----------------+
	    |                |
	    |                |
	    |  top-stuff     |
	    |                |
	    |                |
	    |                |
	    |                |
	    |                |
	    |                |
	    |                |
	    |  bottom-line 1 |
	    |  bottom-line 2 |
	    +----------------+

    I'd like the template to handle a variable number of "top-stuff" lines
    without having to adjust the white space between the top-stuff and the
    bottom lines.

712.1<line>(INDENT\n\BOTTOM)CLOSET::ANKLAMMon Aug 10 1987 16:4615
    
    If you are working on a local DESIGN file, you can take a look
    at the \endtitlepage macro in TEX$REPORT.DESIGN. This prints
    whatever is specified as an argument to <ENDTITLE_PAGE> at the
    bottom of the page. 
    
    Depending on the amount of text at the top of the page, you might
    also try
    
    <line>(indent\n\BOTTOM)
    
    where n is the indent value. BOTTOM is not documented, but reserved
    for future implementation. It does not currently work in all contexts.
