Different layouts are generally avaialble through the styling of
elements, like mentioned in Central requirements > Layout.

Left/right pages specific layouting is only required for autogenerated
contents like footnotes and page headers, I think. Those information
will be available to the content generators, even I am still not sure
how to really implement those.

For the cover I think the discussed integration of pages from other PDF
documents is the most usable way. Maybe we can make this an optional
call from the content generators. A default title document can always be
generated from the available metadata in the document, with custom
styles given by the layout directives mentioned above.

The table of contents is another of those auto-generated blocks. I will
update the requirements document to clarify on those items.

Kind regards,
Kore
