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?
Create a normal document without imposition in A5 and use afterwards the arrange extra to produce your booklet. You can get a short information block with an example when you write context --extras=arrange in the terminal. Wolfgang
