+# Templating-Layoutformat 3
+
+Layoutformat 3 trennt feste Seitengestaltung von fortlaufendem Dokumentinhalt.
+
+## Grundaufbau
+
+```text
+PAGE 210 297 mm
+#pragma format-version 3
+
+#pragma page-template first
+IMG briefkopf.png 0 0 210 55
+#pragma flow-slot body x=20 y=90 w=170 h=175
+#pragma end-page-template
+
+#pragma page-template continuation
+IMG folgeseite.png 0 0 210 25
+#pragma flow-slot body x=20 y=30 w=170 h=235
+#pragma end-page-template
+
+#pragma content-flow body
+TEXTBOX $Brieftext size=11 overflow=continue
+TEXT "Mit freundlichen Grüßen" gap=8 keep-with-next=true
+TEXT $LehrerName gap=3 italic=true
+#pragma end-content-flow
+```
+
+## Seitentypen
+
+- `first` ist verpflichtend und gestaltet die erste Seite.
+- `continuation` gestaltet alle Folgeseiten. Fehlt dieser Typ, wird `first` wiederholt.
+- Elemente innerhalb eines `page-template` sind absolut positioniert und beeinflussen den Textfluss nicht.
+- Jede Seitenvorlage beschreibt ausschließlich ihre eigenen Elemente und Slots.
+
+## Flow-Slots und Content-Flows
+
+Ein `flow-slot` definiert eine Bounding Box innerhalb einer Seitenvorlage. Ein gleichnamiger
+`content-flow` liefert den fortlaufenden Inhalt. Ist `continuation` vorhanden, benötigt jeder
+Content-Flow auf `first` und `continuation` einen gleichnamigen Slot.
+
+Elemente in einem Content-Flow werden ohne X/Y-Koordinaten angegeben:
+
+```text
+TEXT "Absatz" size=11 gap=4
+TEXTBOX $MehrzeiligerText size=11 overflow=continue
+TABLE $Zeilen size=9
+CHART $Werte type=bar h=50
+IMG unterschrift.png w=45 h=18
+```
+
+- `gap` ist der Abstand zum Vorgänger in der Seiteneinheit.
+- `keep-with-next=true` hält das Element nach Möglichkeit mit seinem Nachfolger zusammen.
+- Text und Tabellen dürfen automatisch auf Folgeseiten weiterlaufen.
+
+## Designer
+
+Der Tab **Seiten & Flows** verwaltet Seitentypen, Content-Flows und Flow-Slots. Der visuelle
+Editor zeigt den Slot des gewählten Seitentyps violett gestrichelt an. Er kann wie ein anderes
+Element verschoben und skaliert werden. Die Vorschauseiten-Auswahl zeigt alle tatsächlich aus den
+Beispieldaten erzeugten Dokumentseiten; **Seitentyp anzeigen** rendert stattdessen die feste
+Gestaltung der gewählten Seitenvorlage.
+
+Beim Öffnen eines alten absoluten Layouts bettet der Designer dessen Elemente unverändert in den
+Seitentyp `first` ein und ergänzt leere `body`-Slots sowie einen leeren Content-Flow. Erst beim
+anschließenden Speichern wird das migrierte Layout in das Paket geschrieben.
+
+## Aktuelle Grenzen
+
+Die erste Renderer-Ausbaustufe unterstützt einen mit Inhalt gefüllten, paginierenden Content-Flow.
+Weitere Slots und leere Flows können bereits gestaltet werden. Beim primären Flow müssen X-Position
+und Breite auf erster und Folgeseite noch identisch sein; Y-Position und Höhe dürfen sich unterscheiden.
+Diese Einschränkung wird beim Rendern mit einer verständlichen Fehlermeldung geprüft.
