Regions

Regions are fixed-position containers within a Template.
They allow precise placement of content (Elements or Blocks) on a specific area of the page, outside the normal document flow.

Regions are ideal for placing static or repeated elements like address fields, logos, watermarks, or fixed headers.

Characteristics

• Absolutely positioned – Regions are placed using coordinates relative to the page.
• Static layout – Content in a Region does not affect or respond to surrounding content.
• Contained content – A Region can hold Elements and/or Blocks.
• No page breaking – Content inside a Region stays on its assigned page and does not flow across pages.

Example Use Cases

• Address Field in a letter: top-left of the first page, perfectly aligned for window envelopes.
• Logo Region: fixed branding in a document header.

When to Use Regions

Use Regions when:

• You need exact positioning of content.
• The content must not shift due to other layout logic.
• You are placing static or layout-critical components (e.g. address fields, logos).

Limitations

• Regions do not support page flow: content that doesn’t fit will not be split or moved.
• They are not intended for dynamic, variable-length content like long paragraphs or tables.
• Overlapping Regions and content flow can result in visual conflicts if not managed properly.
