-<h3>How to set up page layout &#8220;by hand&#8221;</h3>
-<p/>So you&#8217;re eager to do it yourself, notwithstanding the cautions
-
- outlined in &#8220;<a href="FAQ-changemargin.html">changing margins</a>&#8221;.
-<p/>It&#8217;s important that you first start by familiarising yourself
-with LaTeX&#8217;s page layout parameters. For example, see section C.5.3 of the
-LaTeX manual (pp. 181-182), or corresponding sections in many of the other
-good LaTeX manuals (see <a href="FAQ-books.html">LaTeX books</a>).
-<p/>LaTeX controls the page layout with a number of parameters, which
-allow you to change the distance from the edges of a page to the left
-and top edges of your typeset text, the width and height of the text,
-and the placement of other text on the page. However, they are
-somewhat complex, and it is easy to get their interrelationships wrong
-when redefining the page layout. The layout package defines a
-<code>\</code><code>layout</code> command which draws a diagram of your existing page
-layout, with the dimensions (but not their interrelationships) shown.
-<p/>Even changing the text height and width, <code>\</code><code>textheight</code> and
-<code>\</code><code>textwidth</code>, requires more care than you might expect: the height
-should be set to fit a whole number of text lines (in terms of
-multiples of <code>\</code><code>baselinskip</code>), and the width should be constrained
-by the number of characters per line, as mentioned in
-&#8220;<a href="FAQ-changemargin.html">changing margins</a>&#8221;.
-<p/>Margins are controlled by two parameters: <code>\</code><code>oddsidemargin</code> and
-<code>\</code><code>evensidemargin</code>, whose names come from the convention that
-odd-numbered pages appear on the right-hand side (&#8216;recto&#8217;) of a
-two-page spread and even-numbered pages on the left-hand side
-(&#8216;verso&#8217;). Both parameters actually refer to the left-hand margin of
-the relevant pages; in each case the right-hand margin is specified by
-implication, from the value of <code>\</code><code>textwidth</code> and the width of the
-paper. (In a one-sided document, which is the default in many
-classes, including the standard <i>article</i> and <i>report</i>
-classes, <code>\</code><code>oddsidemargin</code> stands for both.)
-<p/>The
-&#8220;origin&#8221; (the zero position) on the page is one inch from the top of
-the paper and one inch from the left side; positive horizontal
-measurements extend right across the page, and positive vertical
-measurements extend down the page. Thus, the parameters
-<code>\</code><code>evensidemargin</code>, <code>\</code><code>oddsidemargin</code> and <code>\</code><code>topmargin</code>, should
-be set to be 1 inch less than the true margin; for margins closer to
-the left and top edges of the page than 1 inch, the margin parameters
-must be set to negative values.
