Hello:

I'm composing an A5 booklet printed on an A4 paper using the 2UP imposition schema. I believe, in such case, margins should be controlled using 'backspace' and 'cutspace' options of the \setuplayout command, but I'm afraid I don't quite understand how to use those properl. I want to make the 'external' margin (right on odd pages and left on even pages) as small as possible, and the 'internal' margin larger, so that I can hole punch the booklet.

I believe, in such case, margins should be controlled using 'backspace' and 'cutspace' options of the \setuplayout command, but I'm afraid I don't quite understand how to use those properly. Here's a minimal example:

\setuppapersize[A5][A4]
\setuparranging[2UP,rotated]
\setuplayout
[topspace=13pt,
backspace=30pt,
cutspace=-20pt,
width=fit,
height=fit,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt]
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
\setupbodyfont[small]
\starttext
\dorecurse{20}{\input tufte \vskip 1em}
\stoptext

I wonder how I could reduce the left margin and increase the left one on the even pages.

Any pointers, please?

Thank you so much in advance.
Ángel
