 # LehrerApp Templating
 
+## Dynamische Zeichenflächen für externe Apps
+
+Externe `ITemplateDataProvider` können einen Platzhalter vom Typ `Drawing` mit einem
+`DrawingValue` befüllen. Dabei wird kein QuestPDF-/Skia-Canvas nach außen gegeben. Die portable
+Form besteht stattdessen aus einer geprüften, serialisierbaren Befehlsliste:
+
+```csharp
+var drawing = new DrawingValue(
+    [
+        new DrawRectangle(0, 0, 160, 24, "#2563EB", 0.8f, "#EFF6FF"),
+        new DrawString(4, 4, "Dynamischer Bericht", 11, "#1E3A8A", Bold: true),
+        new MoveTo(4, 19),
+        new LineTo(156, 19, "#93C5FD", 0.6f),
+        new DrawImage(120, 2, 30, 18, pngBytes, "image/png")
+    ],
+    ContentHeight: 24);
+```
+
+Koordinaten und Längen verwenden die Einheit des Layouts; `DrawString.FontSize` wird wie bei
+`TEXT` in Punkt angegeben. Unterstützt werden `DrawString`, `MoveTo`, `LineTo`, `DrawLine`,
+`DrawRectangle` und `DrawImage` (PNG/JPEG). Die Befehle gelangen über den normalen
+`ITemplateDataProvider`, beispielsweise als `values["ExternerBericht"] = drawing`.
+
+`DrawStringEx(x, y, height, width, ...)` ergänzt eine geclippte Textbox mit `AlignLeft`,
+`AlignCenter` oder `AlignRight`. Farbe und Schriftfamilie können bei beiden Textbefehlen gesetzt
+werden. Ohne Schriftangabe wird `sans-serif` verwendet. Für portable Schriften registriert die
+integrierende App TTF-/OTF-Daten einmal vor dem Rendern:
+
+```csharp
+DrawingFontRegistry.RegisterFont("MeineSchulschrift", fontBytes);
+canvas.DrawStringEx(0, 0, 12, context.Width, "Zentrierte Überschrift",
+    DrawingTextAlignment.AlignCenter, 11, "MeineSchulschrift", "#1E3A8A", bold: true);
+```
+
+Explizite Zeilenumbrüche werden berücksichtigt; Text außerhalb von `height`/`width` wird
+abgeschnitten. Eine automatische Worttrennung findet in dieser elementaren Zeichenfunktion nicht
+statt.
+
+Im Layout stehen zwei Varianten zur Verfügung:
+
+```text
+DRAWBOX 20 40 170 80 $ExternerBericht
+FLOWDRAWBOX 20 40 170 237 $LangesProtokoll
+```
+
+`DRAWBOX` ist ein fester, geclippter Viewport. Inhalte außerhalb seiner Breite oder Höhe werden
+nicht angezeigt. `FLOWDRAWBOX` zerlegt den vertikalen Zeichenraum anhand von `ContentHeight` in
+gleich hohe Seitenfenster und setzt ihn auf Folgeseiten fort. Wie bei `FLOWBOX` darf ein Layout
+höchstens ein fließendes Element enthalten; bei einem eigenen Folgeseitenlayout müssen Typ,
+Position und Größe übereinstimmen.
+
+Ein Vorlagenpaket kann keinen Callback und keinen Typ aus einer fremden Assembly einschleusen.
+Farben, Zahlen, Bildformate, Bildgröße und Gesamtzahl der portablen Befehle werden validiert.
+Damit bleibt die paketfähige Schnittstelle deterministisch. Ein `PagedDrawingValue` ist dagegen
+ein ausdrücklich vom vertrauenswürdigen In-Process-`ITemplateDataProvider` übergebener Delegate.
+
+Für umfangreiche In-Process-Integrationen gibt es zusätzlich den klassischen seitenweisen
+Callback `PagedDrawingValue`. Er wird vor QuestPDFs Layout vollständig in deklarative Seitenlisten
+aufgezeichnet und daher nicht durch interne Layoutdurchläufe mehrfach ausgeführt:
+
+```csharp
+var value = new PagedDrawingValue(context =>
+{
+    var nextRow = context.State is int row ? row : 0;
+
+    // Nur vollständige Strukturen zeichnen, die noch in die zugewiesene Box passen.
+    while (nextRow < rows.Count && PasstNochVollstaendig(rows[nextRow], context))
+        ZeichneZeile(context.Canvas, rows[nextRow++]);
+
+    context.State = nextRow;
+    return nextRow == rows.Count; // true = fertig, false = weitere FLOWDRAWBOX
+}, InitialState: 0);
+```
+
+`DrawingPageContext` stellt `Width`, `Height`, `PageNumber`, `Canvas` und ein über alle Aufrufe
+weitergereichtes `State`-Objekt bereit. So kann der Zeichner Tabellenzeilen, Diagrammgruppen oder
+andere unteilbare Strukturen bewusst auf die nächste Seite verschieben. Ein `DRAWBOX`-Callback
+wird genau einmal aufgerufen; bei `FLOWDRAWBOX` fordert `false` eine weitere Seite an. `MaxPages`
+verhindert Endlosschleifen. Delegates funktionieren nur innerhalb desselben .NET-Prozesses;
+prozessübergreifend bleibt `DrawingValue` die Übergabeform.
+
+## PDF-Import im TemplateDesigner
+
+Der Menüpunkt **Einfügen → PDF als Vorlage importieren** rekonstruiert einseitige PDF-Vorlagen.
+Der präzisere Modus verwendet ein leeres Template zusammen mit einem ausgefüllten Beispiel und
+ermittelt variable Textbereiche über einen toleranten Geometrie-Diff. Mit nur einem PDF werden
+Datum, Zahlen und typische Adressbereiche lokal heuristisch vorerkannt.
+
+PdfPig extrahiert Text, Bounding-Box, Schriftgröße und verfügbare Schriftmerkmale. Die optionale
+KI-Klassifikation erhält ausschließlich diese strukturierte Zwischenrepräsentation und darf nur
+Placeholder-Namen, Typ, Gruppierung und Konfidenz liefern. Koordinaten werden nicht an die KI
+delegiert. Das gerasterte PDF bleibt als Hintergrund erhalten; erkannte variable Bereiche werden
+deterministisch mit einem weißen Asset maskiert und anschließend als `TEXT` oder `TEXTBOX`
+eingefügt. Der Nutzer prüft alle Vorschläge im Importdialog und muss die Übernahme ausdrücklich
+bestätigen. Das Paket wird dabei noch nicht gespeichert.
+
+Die serverseitige Klassifikation liegt in `ai-backend/pdf-template.php` und verwendet denselben
+Login-, Bearer-Token-, Guthaben- und Abrechnungsmechanismus wie die übrigen KI-Funktionen. Das
+Passwort wird vom eigenständigen Designer nicht gespeichert. Tabellen-/Chart-Erkennung und die
+automatische Rekonstruktion mehrseitiger Vorlagen sind bewusst nicht Teil von v1.
+
+## Mehrseitiger Fließtext
+
+`TEXTBOX` bleibt ein absolut positionierter Bereich mit fester Höhe. Für Texte unbekannter Länge
+steht `FLOWBOX` mit derselben Syntax zur Verfügung:
+
+```text
+PAGE 210 297 mm
+FLOWBOX 20 45 170 232 $Klassenbucheintraege size=11
+```
+
+Der Inhalt wird innerhalb dieses Bereichs umbrochen und bei Bedarf auf beliebig vielen Seiten
+fortgesetzt. Pro Layout ist höchstens eine `FLOWBOX` zulässig. Das optionale Manifestfeld
+`continuationLayoutFile` verweist auf ein zweites Layout im Paket, das ab Seite 2 verwendet wird.
+Damit können Folgeseiten beispielsweise einen kleineren Briefkopf oder einen eigenen Hintergrund
+haben. Haupt- und Folgeseitenlayout müssen dieselbe Seitengröße besitzen; ihre `FLOWBOX` muss aus
+technischen Gründen dieselbe Position und Größe haben. Ohne Folgeseitenlayout werden die statischen
+Elemente der ersten Seite auf jeder erzeugten Seite wiederholt.
+
+## Systemvariablen
+
+Textinhalte können drei vom Renderer bereitgestellte Variablen verwenden. Sie werden nicht im
+Manifest deklariert und nicht vom `ITemplateDataProvider` geliefert:
+
+- `$$today` – aktuelles lokales Datum im deutschen Kurzformat
+- `$$curPage` – aktuelle Seitenzahl
+- `$$maxPageNum` – Gesamtzahl der Seiten
+
+Sie können allein oder innerhalb eines Literals stehen, beispielsweise:
+
+```text
+TEXT 20 10 "Stand: $$today" size=9
+TEXT 145 285 "Seite $$curPage von $$maxPageNum" size=9 align=right
+```
+
+QuestPDF löst aktuelle und gesamte Seitenzahl während der Dokumenterzeugung auf. Dafür ist kein
+zusätzlicher Renderdurchlauf durch die Anwendung erforderlich. Die Variablen funktionieren auch in
+konstanten Rich-Text-Platzhaltern.
+
 ## Konstante Platzhalter und Hervorhebung
 
 Ein Platzhalter kann seinen Wert vollständig im Vorlagenpaket tragen. `IsConstant=true` bewirkt,
