+excerpt: >-
+  Metanorma XML to PDF supports a old ISO layouts.
+---
+
+== Introduction
+
+Metanorma-ISO now supports the PDF rendering in a historical layouts. We've
+distinguished a few periods when ISO significally changed the layout of the
+document:
+
+* from 1951 to 1971
+
+* from 1972 to 1986
+
+* from 1987 to 1989
+
+* from 1989 to 2012
+
+For each period we've added the PDF generation in unique layout.
+
+The layout may be choosed by the document attribute `:document-scheme:`.
+This attribute specifies the version of the ISO document specification that 
+should be used in generating the Metanorma document.
+The available values are: `1951`, `1972`, `1987`, `1989`, `2012`, `2013` and `2024` (default).
+
+Note: The layout `2012` is similar to `1989`, but with changed logo in mid-2012.
+
+
+== Copyright statements
+
+Copyright text changed from year to year. Currently, Metanorma support a few predefined 
+copyright texts for different layout:
