# The <code>repeat</code> method is quite versatile when it comes to define
# the intervals at which the content block should repeat.
#
# The interval may be a symbol (<code>:all</code>, <code>:odd</code>,
# <code>:even</code>), an array listing the pages, a range or a
# <code>Proc</code> that receives the page number as an argument and should
# return true if the content is to be repeated on the given page.
#
# You may also pass an option <code>:dynamic</code> to reevaluate the code block
# on every call which is useful when the content changes based on the page
# number.
#
# It is also important to say that no matter where you define the repeater it
# will be applied to all matching pages.
