The target page sizes supported by the standard \LaTeX{} \Lclass{article} are available, plus |a3paper|. Printing these to both sides of a sheet and folding appropriately will yield a six-page leaflet. %% TEST: These commands are no longer disabled! \iffalse \reversemarginpar \marginpar[XXX]{YYY} \fi %% TEST: These commands are disabled! \onecolumn \twocolumn[WWW] %% end of TEST \section{Requirements} Using the \Lclass{leaflet} class requires that the final document is created in PostScript or PDF format, using \begin{itemize} \item \TeX{} and \Lprog{dvips}, or \item pdf\TeX{}, or \item V\TeX{} in PS or PDF mode. \end{itemize} (Some other drivers supported by standard \LaTeX{} work as well.) \section{Features} Basically the \Lclass{leaflet} class provides the same features as the standard \Lclass{article} class. There are, however, a number of differences and restrictions, as well as some additional facilities and peculiarities: \begin{itemize} \item The sectioning level |\part| is not available. The other sectioning levels are not numbered by default. \item References to the page where floating objects are located may come out wrong (this includes |\pageref| as well as |\listof...| commends). \item Section headers are typeset in a smaller font size than in the standard classes. \item You may use list-like environments just as in the standard classes. The left margins have been adjusted to work well with the \Lopt{a4paper} and \Lopt{letterpaper} class options. With other target page sizes, you'll have to adjust them. Here's a small demo: \begin{description} \item[Uncle Meat] First entry in a description environment. \item[King Kong] Second entry. \begin{itemize} \item First entry in an itemize environment. \begin{enumerate} \item First entry in an enumerate environment. \item Second entry. \begin{enumerate} \item First entry in an enumerate environment. \begin{enumerate} \item First entry in an enumerate environment. \item Second entry. \end{enumerate} \item Second entry. \begin{itemize} \item First entry in an itemize environment. \item Second entry. \end{itemize} \item Another entry. \end{enumerate} \item Another entry. \end{enumerate} \item Second entry. \item Another entry. \end{itemize} \item[Frunobulax] Another entry. \end{description} \item Marginal notes are pointless on the given page size and are disabled. \item Two-column typesetting is not supported for the same reason. \item By default, there are no page headers, page footers or page numbers, nor is there any space reserved for these. However, you can restore them, if you like. To do so, use |\pagestyle| as with the standard classes, and |\setlength| to adjust the corresponding parameters (like |\headheight|). At last, you have to call the new macro \par | \setmargins{top}{bottom}{left}{right}|. \item Paragraphs are separated by vertical space; the first line of a paragraph is not indented by default. \item By default, all paragraphs are typeset as if you had specified |\sloppy| in the document preamble. \item A small folding mark is created between the second and the third page. \item The macro |\CutLine| draws a vertical dotted line with scissor symbols between the page indicated by its argument and the preceding one. The optional parameter |[-]| changes the dotted line to a solid one. The starred version omits the scissors symbols. \item In case the text does not fit on six pages, a warning (or error, depending on some class option, see below) will be issued. \item To add some background picture to individual pages, you can use |\AddToBackground| commands. Its first argument specifies the page, the second one the picture commands. The starred version puts the picture on the combined pages. \end{itemize} \section{Customization} The typeface to be used for the section headings is given by the macro |\sectfont|, and the typeface to be used for the labels of the |description| environment is given by |\descfont|. Both macros default to |\bfseries| and can be changed using |\renewcommand*|. The horizontal and vertical margins of the (small) pages have the standard sizes 8 mm and 11 mm, respectively, and can be changed using |\setmargins|, as explained above. This may be useful, if the printing engine exhibits larger unprintable margins. The macros |\foldmarkrule| and |\foldmarklength| determine the stroke width and the length of the fold mark, which is printed between the second and the third page. They default to 0.4\,pt and 2\,mm, respectively, and can be changed using |\renewcommand*| (\emph{not} |\setlength|!). See also the class options \Lopt{foldmark} and \Lopt{nofoldmark}. \section{Class options} Default options are marked with an asterisk: \begin{description} \item[\Lopt{tumble}{\defaultmarker}, \Lopt{notumble}] By default, the contents of the back side of the final sheet is printed upside down. The option \Lopt{notumble} suppresses that. Doing so may be necessary to suit the behavior of certain printing engines. Specifying \Lopt[notumble] may also be useful during the writing of a document, to enable proof-reading on the screen. \item[\Lopt{frontside}, \Lopt{backside}, \Lopt{bothsides}{\defaultmarker}] These options control whether only the front page, the back page or both pages of the final sheet are to be be created. Thus, you can create separate files for the front an back side of the sheet. \item[\Lopt{foldmark}{\defaultmarker}, \Lopt{nofoldmark}] These options specifiy whether or not a fold mark is to be printed. \item[\Lopt{combine}{\defaultmarker}, \Lopt{nocombine}] These options specify whether the (small) pages should be output combined on a (large) target page (\Lopt{combine}) or as individual pages (\Lopt{nocombine}). At the same time, the determine behaviour in case the text does not fit on six (small) pages. By default (\Lopt{combine}), an error is raised---and the surplus pages will be gobbled. Otherwise (\Lopt{nocombine}), just a warning will be issued; shortening the text appropriately is left to the user. \item[\Lopt{twopart}, \Lopt{notwopart}{\defaultmarker}] Allows the typesetting of a four page leaflet (first part) and a two page detachable form (second part), for fill-in forms, questionnaires, applications, etc. \item[\Lopt{foldcorr}, \Lopt{nofoldcorr}{\defaultmarker}] Decreases the width of pages 4 and 5 by 2\,\% (A4 paper: 2\,mm) and increases the other pages by 1\,\% (A4 paper: 1\,mm) for easier folding in combine mode. \end{description} Other options are passed to the \Lclass{article} class. \section{Changes over version 0.3} The present release of the \Lclass{leaflet} class differs basically from its predecessor, version~0.3, which had been developed originally by J\"urgen Schlegelmilch. The main change is, that no more post-processing is required to arrange the pages on the sheet. Furthermore, the overall layout has been changed slightly to suit the small page size better. In general, documents that were written for version~0.3 will exhibit different line and page breaks when typeset using the new version of this document class. \begin{thebibliography}{000} \bibitem{cit:latex-man} \textsc{L.\,Lamport}: \LaTeX.
