print sum of a table column to next page

If you call .render() on an HTML object, you get a Document object whose .pages attribute is a list of Page objects. You can shuffle this list all you want before calling e.g. .write_pdf() on the document, without modifying the layout code. I suppose you could use the pages’ anchors attribute to check which page contains a given element, if you give it an ID: e.g. <h2 id=toc> and if 'toc' in page.anchors: ...

See details in the documentation: http://weasyprint.org/docs/api/

So yeah, I suppose we could add limited support for target-counter() that only works if the target is earlier in the document, then you could have a TOC at the end and shuffle pages to put it at the beginning again. I guess you’d want something like @page :first { counter-reset: page 2 }, not sure if that works right now. Maybe named pages (#57) would be useful there as well.

This sounds reasonable. It’s just a matter of someone doing the work now. Unfortunately nobody is actively working on WeasyPrint at the moment.

if 'toc' in page.anchors: ... is doing weird behavior, putting some random values in that particular element.

i want to achieve something like this

Hello,

That’s a duplicate of #1201, and unfortunately there’s no good solution to this problem :/.
