class Prawn::Outline
The Outline class organizes the outline tree items for the document. Note that the {prev} and {parent} are adjusted while navigating through the nested blocks. These attributes along with the presence or absence of blocks are the primary means by which the relations for the various ‘PDF::Core::OutlineItem`s and the `PDF::Core::OutlineRoot` are set.
Some ideas for the organization of this class were gleaned from ‘name_tree`. In particular the way in which the `PDF::Core::OutlineItem`s are finally rendered into document objects through a hash.

Public Instance Methods
Source
# File lib/prawn/outline.rb, line 115 def add_subsection_to(title, position = :last, &block) @parent = items[title] unless @parent raise Prawn::Errors::UnknownOutlineTitle, "\n No outline item with title: '#{title}' exists in the outline tree" end @prev = position == :first ? nil : @parent.data.last nxt = position == :first ? @parent.data.first : nil insert_section(nxt, &block) end
Inserts an outline section to the outline tree (see {define}).
Although you will probably choose to exclusively use {define} so that your outline tree is contained and easy to manage, this method gives you the option to insert sections to the outline tree at any point during document generation. This method allows you to add a child subsection to any other item at any level in the outline tree. Currently the only way to locate the place of entry is with the title for the item. If your title names are not unique consider using {define}.
Consider using this method instead of {update} if you want to have the outline object to be scoped as self (see {insert_section_after} example).
“‘ruby go_to_page 2 start_new_page text “Inserted Page” outline.add_subsection_to title: ’Page 2’, :first do
outline.page destination: page_number, title: "Inserted Page"
end “‘
@param title [String] An outline title to add the subsection to. @param position [:first, :last] (:last)
Where the subsection will be placed relative to other child elements. If
you need to position your subsection in between other elements then
consider using {insert_section_after}.
@yield Uses the same DSL syntax as {define} @return [void]

Defines/Updates an outline for the document.
The outline is an optional nested index that appears on the side of a PDF document usually with direct links to pages. The outline DSL is defined by nested blocks involving two methods: {section} and {page}. Note that one can also use {update} to add more sections to the end of the outline tree using the same syntax and scope.
The syntax is best illustrated with an example:
“‘ruby Prawn::Document.generate(’outlined_document.pdf’) do
text "Page 1. This is the first Chapter. "
start_new_page
text "Page 2. More in the first Chapter. "
start_new_page
outline.define do
section 'Chapter 1', destination: 1, closed: true do
page destination: 1, title: 'Page 1'
page destination: 2, title: 'Page 2'
end
end
start_new_page do
outline.update do
section 'Chapter 2', destination: 2, do
page destination: 3, title: 'Page 3'
end
end
end “‘

# File lib/prawn/outline.rb, line 151 def insert_section_after(title, &block) @prev = items[title] unless @prev raise Prawn::Errors::UnknownOutlineTitle, "\n No outline item with title: '#{title}' exists in the outline tree" end @parent = @prev.data.parent nxt = @prev.data.next insert_section(nxt, &block) end
Inserts an outline section to the outline tree (see {define}).
Although you will probably choose to exclusively use {define} so that your outline tree is contained and easy to manage, this method gives you the option to insert sections to the outline tree at any point during document generation. Unlike {add_subsection_to}, this method allows you to enter a section after any other item at any level in the outline tree. Currently the only way to locate the place of entry is with the title for the item. If your title names are not unique consider using {define}.
@example
go_to_page 2 start_new_page text "Inserted Page" update_outline do insert_section_after :title => 'Page 2' do page :destination => page_number, :title => "Inserted Page" end end
@param title [String]
The title of other section or page to insert new section after.
@yield Uses the same DSL syntax as {define}. @return [void]
Source
# File lib/prawn/outline.rb, line 219 def page(options = {}) if options[:title] title = options[:title] else raise Prawn::Errors::RequiredOption, "\nTitle is a required option for page" end add_outline_item(title, options) end
Adds a page to the outline.
Although you will probably choose to exclusively use {define} so that your outline tree is contained and easy to manage, this method also gives you the option to add pages to the root of outline tree at any point during document generation. Note that the page will be added at the top level after the other root outline elements. For more flexible placement try using {insert_section_after} and/or {add_subsection_to}.
@note This method is almost identical to {section} except that it does not
accept a block thereby defining the outline item as a leaf on the outline tree structure.
@example
outline.page title: "Very Last Page"
@param options [Hash{Symbol => any}] @option options :title [String] REQUIRED.
The outline text that appears for the page.
@option options :destination [Integer, Array]
- The page number for a destination link to the top of the page (using a `:FIT` destination). - An array with a custom destination (see the `#dest_*` methods of the `PDF::Core::Destination` module).
@option options :closed [Boolean] (false)
Whether the section should show its nested outline elements.
@return [void]
Source
# File lib/prawn/outline.rb, line 43 def page_number @document.page_number end
Returns the current page number of the document.
@return [Integer]

# File lib/prawn/outline.rb, line 188 def section(title, options = {}, &block) add_outline_item(title, options, &block) end
Adds an outline section to the outline tree.
Although you will probably choose to exclusively use {define} so that your outline tree is contained and easy to manage, this method gives you the option to add sections to the outline tree at any point during document generation. When not being called from within another {section} block the section will be added at the top level after the other root elements of the outline. For more flexible placement try using {insert_section_after} and/or {add_subsection_to}.
@example
outline.section 'Added Section', destination: 3 do outline.page destionation: 3, title: 'Page 3' end
@param title [String] The outline text that appears for the section. @param options [Hash{Symbol => any}] @option options :destination [Integer, Array]
- Optional page number for a destination link to the top of the page (using a `:FIT` destination). - An array with a custom destination (see the `#dest_*` methods of the `PDF::Core::Destination` module).
@option options :closed [Boolean] (false)
Whether the section should show its nested outline elements.
@yield More nested subsections and/or page blocks. @return [void]
