Explain how to conditionally display a page in the doc

[sametmax]

I have a document that may include a page or not. This page is using a different page style.

Right now I'm trying to do:

{% if condition %} <= this is at the beginning on the optional page
Optional page content
<Page break>
{% endif %} <= this is at the beginning on the next page

It partially works as the content is conditionally inserted. However, it's not inserted in a separate page, and the custom page style is lost.

I've tried with different configurations, and actually it does work, only not when it's the first page that is optional.

Well this is something I've never tried. Let me have a look into in.

I've quickly tried a blank document, with its second page wrapped inside a condition. The technique:

{% if condition %} <= Before optional page
<Page break>
Optional page content
<Page break>
{% endif %} <= this is at the beginning on the next page

Hope this helps.

As I said, it does work. But not for the First page with a set page style.

Sorry! I didn't catch that

Right now it should not be possible to set the fist page as optional because there is where someone starts with the document.

I occurs to me that a solution would be introducing a new manual Control Flow reference which internally move the conditional block tag before/after the optional page.
