Example usage

<story>
    <spacer length="710"/>
    <pto>
        <pto_trailer>
            <para textColor="blue">
                See you on next frame
            </para>
        </pto_trailer>
        <pto_header>
            <para textColor="blue">
                back from the previous frame
            </para>
        </pto_header>
        <para>A header</para>
        <para>
            Many vast star fields in the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy
            are rich in clouds of dust, and gas. First and foremost,
            visible in the above picture are millions of stars, many
            of which are similar to our Sun. Next huge filaments of
            dark interstellar dust run across the image and block the
            light from millions of more stars yet further across our Galaxy.
        </para>
    </pto>
</story>
