public class LayoutRoot
extends LayoutElement

The layout root is the document/page representation in the DOM model. It holds the page-wide settings. It is initialized with the document context and will hold all undeclared counters. Unlike all other elements, this root has no layout-context. Any call to this method will result in a Null-value to be returned. On pagebreaks, no new instance needs to be generated - the layout root exists only once.
