+<para>Page footers in print output use a three column table
+to position text at the left, center, and right side of
+the footer on the page.
+This parameter lets you specify the minimum height
+of the single row in the table.
+Since this specifies only the minimum height,
+the table should automatically grow to fit taller content.
+The default value is "14pt".</para>
