I won't be able to check my mail during the next week so don't expect
me to reply until then.
Anyway, I want to ask you some things before I leave.
1. Can someone run the regression test suite for me? I ask because
I've never done this and my computer is extremely slow, too.
2. Do you like the idea to let the default margins depend on the paper
size in the future?
Yes, seems reasonable.
3. I'm working on a twoside option to achieve the possibility to set
different margins for odd and even pages. I can imagine two ways to
let the user toggle this behaviour: First, we could introduce an
option twoside = ##t in the paper block. If it is set to true, we
would leave the left-margin and right-margin values and only swap them
for even pages. An other idea would be to introduce "inner-margin" and
"outer-margin" and switch to twoside-modus if they are set (and maybe
discard left- and right-margin). What is your opinion?
I vote for inner/outer margin in the twoside case. Furthermore, would it
be too difficult to implement
a additional "margin" called "binding correction" (at least this is the
1:1 translation from the german
term)? It is that part of the page that is used to put the pages
together (in heavy books, the pages get
bend in the middle, so the margin seems to be smaller than he really is,
and when you use a spiral binding,
a part of the margin is lost, too).
Ok, one can argue that the same result can be archived by simply adding
the binding amount to the inner
margin, but nevertheless, I would second such a feature.
