"Global" styles/tags in prawn/format

[Valera]

Is it possible to have certain tags/styles be available in *all*
documents?!?
By this, I mean something like:
Prawn::Document.tags[:big] = {:font_size => 20}
or
Prawn::Document.styles :big => {:font_size => 20}
or (not prawn/format, but same train-of-thought)
Prawn::Document.font_families.update('RandFont' => {:bold =>
'[wherever]', ...})

I'm interested in this because I'm using prawnto to generate some
reports, and it would be nice to put things like the above into an
initializer, so I don't have to repeat that code in every .pdf.prawn
file.

If this is not possible, I will just make a helper that does this.

prawn-format is no longer supported starting in Prawn 0.7.

If you inherit your Prawn documents from some subclass to
Prawn::Document that you define, you could use e.g. pdf.tags in the
initializer of that class and all your documents would get it.

So

class ApplicationPrawnDocument < Prawn::Document
def initialize
super
tags :h1 => ...
end
end

class MyPrawnReport < ApplicationPrawnDocument
...
end

See here for more info on pdf.tags etc:

Cached copy since the original isn't available, presumably because
prawn-format is not supported in Prawn 0.7 as Gregory said.

Not so, looks like jamis deleted his repository. I'll get the
documentation back online somewhere.
