Display header/footer with Out tag templates
When using an Out tag as a BASE64_TEMPLATE type, the header and footer from a docx used as the template is not displayed on the generated output document.
Import tags support this functionality, but we would really like to use Out tags for performance.

Hello Reporter,
This idea has been reviewed but declined for development. The reason is that we don’t expect implementing this functionality for the Out tag to result in performance increases. Storing these files on a fast file server is more likely to improve the performance of the template. This is our suggestion for improving the performance of this use case. Thank you for your suggestion and please submit any other ideas you have to improve our software.

This customer uses a master template that is blank the body is a ForEach loop with an OUT tag type BASE64TEMPLATE that will effectively import one subtemplate after another to create the appropriate output. This allows them to feed the subtemplate to the OUT tag from JSON as a BASE64 encoded field the problem is that headers and footers can only change after a section break our Import tag has a break property that allows this to happen our OUT tag does not.
Attached is a screen shot of the property they would like us to add to our OUT tag so that they can change the headers and footers per template. See the attached image of the properties we would like added to the OUT tag,
