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. |
