Hi all

Can you please explain this paragraph taken from here?

%%%%%
If a page has a ragged bottom, the resulting distance is the largest of:

   basic-distance,
   minimum-distance, and
   padding plus the smallest distance necessary to eliminate collisions
%%%%%%

Does it mean that it will take the largest value between those three?

Yes.


I read the french translation to see how it was interpreted and it seems to suggest that the distance is the _sum_ of the three values (if I understand correctly.. my french is very basic).

To me it reads like an appropriate rendition. French ‘maximum’ would exactly correspond to English ‘largest’.

Yours, Simon
