Add a vertical bar to specific pages using TikZ

0

I use a template that creates a document with two pages. The first page has a vertical bar and the second page has a horizontal bar. I would like to extend this template in order to add an arbitrary number of pages with a vertical bar after the first page.

I came up with the following approach using atbegshi:

documentclass[a4paper]{article}



usepackage[margin=1.0cm,noheadfoot]{geometry}

usepackage{atbegshi,tikz,lipsum}

pagestyle{empty}



AtBeginShipout{ifnumvalue{page}>0%

begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]%

fill[gray] (current page.north west) rectangle %

++(5.0cm,-paperheight);%

end{tikzpicture}%

fi}



begin{document}



% Dummy code for first template page with vertical bar

begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]%

fill[gray] (current page.north west) rectangle %

++(5.0cm,-paperheight);%

end{tikzpicture}%

vspace*{fill}

begin{center}

LARGE{Template page with vertical bar}

end{center}

vspace*{fill}

%clearpage



% Additional pages with sidebar and dummy text

newgeometry{left=6.0cm,right=1.0cm,top=1.0cm,bottom=1.0cm,noheadfoot}

begin{center}

LARGE{Additional pages with vertical bar}

end{center}

lipsum[1-20]

restoregeometry

%clearpage



% Dummy code for last template page with horizontal bar

begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]%

fill[gray] (current page.north west) rectangle %

++(paperwidth,-6.0cm);%

end{tikzpicture}%

vspace*{fill}

begin{center}

LARGE{Template pages with horizontal bar}

end{center}

vspace*{fill}



end{document}

The original template also uses TikZ for creating the bars. There are two problems with my approach. Due to the simple condition ifnumvalue{page}>0, the vertical bar is also applied to the page with horizontal bar. Also, an empty page is added to the end of the document.

My preferred solution would be a switch to turn the vertical bar on and off similar to newgeometry{...} and restoregeometry. This could be used to define a new environment. A simple boolean does not seem to work.

Is there a way to implement such a switch or a better approach to this problem?
