Report

A data-driven report on data centers: tables across pages, charts, and a tabloid world map.

What it shows

A report on where the world's data centers are, in two kinds: the cloud regions of Amazon,
Microsoft and Google, and the AI campuses built since 2024. The figures, the tables and the
sentences about them come from document.json, as in the invoice. What this adds:

  pagination   nothing here says where a page ends. Content flows, a row or an image moves to
               the next page whole, and the table header repeats at the top of each page
  images       declare them in <assets>, place them with <img>. Their size is yours to set
  region       text pinned to the top or bottom of every page, outside the flow. The one
               written first is the header, the one written last is the footer
  page scope   page="each", "first" or "2-last" says which pages a region or a canvas layer
               is on. {page} and {pages} become the page number and the page count, counted
               within a section: a report that numbers its pages is one section
  sections     each section sets its own page. The last one here is tabloid, landscape, and
               holds only a canvas: a world map drawn as paths, with a marker for each site
  paginate     paginate="no" on a box keeps it whole: a heading stack moves to the next page
               with its paragraph instead of stranding the heading. It is set on each section
               of text here, and the tables are left to split, their header repeating

The prose is written for this data. Change the data and the sentences stay as they are, but
check where the pages break when the content changes. The map is generated from the same
data: its land outlines are Natural Earth and its markers sit at town or metro level, so do
not edit it by hand.

Fonts and images

The document names 2 files, which go in an assets folder next to it. In Visual Studio Code, Lpdf: New Document puts them there.
