Phantomjs: Printing header and footer

[ariya]

Previously, our modified version of QtWebKit implements the support for header and footer. This is now gone with the move to use system-installed QtWebKit (#14458).

We shall investigate the feasibility and the effort in implementing this feature for upstream QtWebKit (annulen/webkit).

I think it makes sense to walk through whole diff between PhantomJS fork and qt/qtwebkit@c1b8d4bf2a and find out what features need to be added to QtWebKit. This PR reduces diff significantly: https://github.com/Vitallium/qtwebkit/pull/14

Thanks for considering, headers and footers are a very significant feature for us! We use it in our document generation, and can't do without, really.

+1 on this. A header and footer option that pushes content beneath and forces content to the next page is a dealbreaker if not implemented correctly.

@tiborsaas Help would be welcome!

+1 Please keep the header/footer feature in PhantomJS. It is extremely useful!

This is also an important feature for us! Please keep header and footer options.

with dropping support on headers, are there any ideas/example code to have something similar on the PDF output? like html5 footer/sections, etc?

but of course the contents event was just excelent, also for custom logic.

Due to our very limited maintenance capacity (see #14541 for more details), we need to prioritize our development focus on other tasks. Therefore, this issue will be automatically closed. In the future, if we see the need to attend to this issue again, then it will be reopened. Thank you for your contribution!
