Abbreviation: ã|\pfã%
Parameters: ã|submarkupã%
Submarkup: ã|\pagelength, \pagewidth, \topmargin,
\bottommargin, \leftmargin, \rightmargin, \bindingadjust,
\galleywidthã%
ã|Description:ã%
The \pageformat markup specifies the page size and margins. The dimensions
and margins for the pages of a document are set with page formatting markup.
These submarkup are valid only within the \pageformat markup. Its seven
submarkup are described below.
ã|pagelengthã% specifies the length of the page to be used. The default
page length, 11 inches is maximum for most printers.
ã|pagewidthã% specifies the width of the page to be used. The default
page width, 8.5 inches, is maximum for most printers. The \pagewidth
and \rightmargin submarkup may optionally be replaced with the \galleywidth
submarkup.
ã|topmarginã% sets the distance from the top of the paper to the first line
of text, excluding the top title(s). The default value is 1 inch.
ã|bottommarginã% sets the distance from the bottom of the paper to the last
line of the text, excluding the bottom title(s). The default value is 1
inch.
ã|leftmarginã% sets the distance from the left edge of the page to the left
edge of the text. The default value is 1.2 inches.
ã|rightmarginã% sets the distance from the right edge of the page to the
right edge of the text. The default value is 1 inch. The \pagewidth
and \rightmargin submarkup may optionally be replaced with the \galleywidth
submarkup.
ã|bindingadjustã% is used to offset left and right margins, which is useful
for duplex printing (on both sides). The value given the \bindingadjust
submarkup will increase the left margin on odd pages and decrease the left
margin on even pages. The page text width is not shortened, only the
margin. The default value is {0pt}.
ã|galleywidthã% may be substituted for \pagewidth and \rightmargin to
determine the width of the text. The \galleywidth has the same dimension
as \hsize. You cannot use \galleywidth in the same fashion, however, as
\hsize.
ã|Example:ã%
This custom source has 90 point (1 1/4inch) left and right margins.
\pageformat{\leftmargin{90pt}
\rightmargin{90pt}}
ã|Example:ã%
This custom source sets up a 9 inch by 6 inch page size. The margins have
been decreased accordingly. A binding adjust value has been added.
\pageformat{\pagelength{9in}
\topmargin{.5in}
\bottommargin{.5in}
\leftmargin{.6in}
\galleywidth{4.9in}
\bindingadjust{.2in}
}
ã|Notes:ã%
Do note include \pagewidth and \rightmargin in the \pageformat markup if you
use the \galleywidth submarkup.
