Children of this document element, specified as an array of DOM objects. This property is read-only.

Custom attributes of this element, specified as an array of mlreportgen.dom.CustomAttribute objects. Use custom attributes supported by the output format.

ID for this document element, specified as a character vector or string scalar. The DOM generates a session-unique ID when it creates the document element. You can specify your own ID.

Parent of this document element, specified as a DOM object. This property is read-only.

Tag for this document element, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

The DOM generates a session-unique tag as part of the creation of this object.

Specifying your own tag value can help you to identify where an issue occurred during document generation.

footer = PDFPageFooter('default');
d.CurrentPageLayout.PageFooters = footer;

% Define page number string and add to footer.
d.CurrentPageLayout.FirstPageNumber = 1;
t = Text('Page ');
pageinfo = Paragraph();
pageinfo.WhiteSpace = 'preserve';
pageinfo.HAlign = 'center';
append(pageinfo,t);
append(pageinfo,Page());
append(footer,pageinfo);

% Create several pages.
p = Paragraph('Hello World');
append(d,p);
p = Paragraph('Another page');
p.Style = {PageBreakBefore(true)};
append(d,p);
