# The `everypage` package ## Warning This package is now in *legacy status*. Functionality similar to that provided by this package is directly implemented in LaTeX since its 2020 Fall release. Do not use everypage in new documents and do not rely on it in new packages or classes of yours. When running on a pre-2020-10-01 version of LaTeX, `everypage` will now fall back to `everypage-1x`, its own past code base. When running on a modern LaTeX, `everypage` will strive to provide its legacy interfaces by using the newer LaTeX facilities. However, full equivalence is not possible and breakage may occur. Load `everypage-1x` in place of `everypage` if you really want to force usage of the old code base (that might keep working for a few more LaTeX release cycles). ## Historic behavior The `everypage` package extends LaTeX providing hooks to do actions on every page or on the current page. Specifically, actions are performed before the page is shipped, so they can be used to put watermarks in the background of a page, or to set the page layout. The package reminds in some sense `bobhook` by Karsten Tinnefeld, but it differs in the way in which the hooks are implemented, as detailed in the package documentation. In some sense it may also be related to the package `everyshi` by Martin Schroeder, but again the implementation is different. The `everypage` package is copyright 2006, 2007, 2020. by Sergio Callegari It comprises this `README.md` file, as well as files - `everypage.dtx` - `everypage.ins` To install the package, run LaTeX on the installation script `everypage.ins` and follow the instructions provided by the script itself. ## Notes This is version 2.0 of the `everypage` package, suitable for LaTeX releases post Fall 2020. Version 1.2 might keep working for a few more LaTeX release cycles. It is now available as `everypage-1x`. It fixed a minor issue with the ordering of operations, in version 1.1. Version 1.1 fixed a bug in version 1.0 that caused LaTeX to exceed its capacity or to hang. Such behaviour was particularly evident in conjunction with the draftwatermark package.
