A standard two-page layout looks like this |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
+----------+----------+ |
| 42 |
| aaaaaaa | aaaaaaa | |
| 43 |
| aaaaaaa | aaaaaaa | |
| 44 |
| aaaaaaa | aaaaaaa | |
| 45 |
| aaaaaaa | aaaaaaa | |
| 46 |
| aaaaaaa | aaaaaaa | |
| 47 |
| aaaaaaa | aaaaaaa | |
| 48 |
| aaaaaaa | aaaaaaa | |
| 49 |
| | | |
| 50 |
+----------+----------+ |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
But I think I will go away from the calculated page layouts defined by |
| 53 |
typearea.sty. It uses the golden ratio (see |
| 54 |
<URL:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canons_of_page_construction>, you |
| 55 |
will find two-page layouts there, too), which is great, but I will adapt |
| 56 |
it for our needs. So near to a canon, one-sided and with a bigger outer |
| 57 |
(right margin). |

Which is not the classical canon, but the reverse, caused by two-up |
| 63 |
printing in the wrong order (see below). |

Maybe, but it is still a one-page layout I prefer, as people don't |
| 69 |
print right pages on the right but left ones, so using a two-page |
| 70 |
layout is useless here. |
