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 -“<a href="FAQ-changemargin.html">changing margins</a>”. -<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 (‘recto’) of a -two-page spread and even-numbered pages on the left-hand side -(‘verso’). 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 -“origin” (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. -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=marginmanual">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=marginmanual</a> -</body> |
