Hi,
While developping a page-layout for a book I cam across the following strange behaviour:
The textblock in the attached example is larger than the paramters in the layout section would indicate. The pagenumber in the footer however respects the layout-parameters. Showframe does print the correct layout as given in de layout section.
To me it looks like a calculation error. Hans could you please comment on this?
It looks like the 'textwidth' key functions as an override switch. If you use the 'width' key, all of the measurements are consistent with eachother, and, otoh it gets even sillier if you use textwidth but set it to, e.g., 200mmm.
Whether this is by design or an error is unknown to me. :-)
it's by design (but you're free to doubt the design quality): textwidth is for special purposes (i needed it when i had to center a one column text on a special page layout) Hans
