wkhtmltopdf is able to put several objects into the output file, an object is either a single webpage, a cover webpage or a table of content. The objects are put into the output document in the order they are specified on the command line, options can be specified on a per object basis or in the global options area. Options from the Global Options section can only be placed in the global options area

wkhtmltopdf - vary footer content based on page content?

With wkhtmltopdf, is there any way to vary the content of the footer based on the content present on the page? Each page's footer needs to have the title of the section it's in rather than a universal footer. Any pointers?
