Is it possible to make the vertical space of a header (margin before header + header + margin after header) a multiple of the basic line vertical space to keep on the grid ? I've just read in the LaTeX Companion that there is a "bottom" option in the footmisc package used in combination of \raggedbottom to align the footnotes from the bottom of the page. Id est to enlarge or diminish the space between the end of the text and the footnotes for each page. What look complex in the grid-based composition is tables and figures. To keep yourself on the grid, you will have to fiddle manually with extra margins to make their vertical size a multiple of the basic line height. I don't know if there is a way in LaTeX to do it auto-magically. Looking in my personal book collection, old French quality academic books are composed with the grid model but recent ones are using the standard non-grid one. It looks like a good way to spot when publishers started to use computers. Cheers, Charles -- http://www.kde-france.org
