Hi Paolo, > In fact, a footer is not simply an element that is placed on the bottom of a > page. It also has to be recurrent in order to be a footer.
To be precise, it has to *have the potential* to recur: a footer on a one-page document doesn't recur, but it's still a footer. As I see it, the problem here is that the documentation isn't clear that "copyright" is simply a property that happens to be "pre-defined", in the sense that it's referenced somewhere [specifically titling-init.ly > oddFooterMarkup] in the standard distro. It could just as easily been called 'kieren' or anything else. Put another way: The copyright property isn't a footer, nor is it coupled with the footer in any way *except* that the default titling includes it on the first page [only]. Cheers, Kieren.
