Hi,
I have been plagued with the problem that SuSE configures their
systems to use @afourpaper in some way that is not obvious to
me. (Having hunted for every copy of texinfo.tex, examined
these directories and their files and on and on.)
Anyway, I have finally given up and will now just run
texi2dvi --texinfo=@letterpaper
Now, to my question. This format uses up a lot of paper.
I would prefer to use 3/4" margins all the way around,
rather than 1-1/4". However, looking at the definitions
of the various letterpaper/afourpaper/pagesizes macros
leaves me stumped. How those things compute their arguments
for the internalpagesizes macro is beyond me. Is it
possible to just rework this thing into what I want:
% @letterpaper (the default).
\def\letterpaper{{\globaldefs = 1
\parskip = 3pt plus 2pt minus 1pt
\setleading{13.2pt}%
%
% If page is nothing but text, make it come out even.
\internalpagesizes{46\baselineskip}{6in}{\voffset}{.25in}{\bindingoffset}{36pt}%
}}
?? Thanks! - Bruce
P.S.:
% @pagesizes TEXTHEIGHT[,TEXTWIDTH]
% Perhaps we should allow setting the margins, \topskip, \parskip,
% and/or leading, also. Or perhaps we should compute them somehow.
%
\def\pagesizes{\parsearg\pagesizesxxx}
I think you should, somehow. Also, your documentation says that
pagesizes takes WIDTH [, HEIGHT ]. Obviously, this source is
"more correct".
