i am still confused.
page% -> that is the width of the page from paper edge to paper edge?
line% -> that is the width from from margin to margin? or is that text%
and which of these settings include footer and header - that would be
pheight% as opposed to theight%?
This could be better documented, but is easy enough to figure
out by trying. Scale an image and see. :-)
text% Percent of the width of the text area (not including margins)
col% Percent of the widht of a column. This is the same as text% for
your usual single-column document, smaller for two-column text.
page% Percent of page width, including margins. The width of the paper.
This one is rarely used.
line% Percent of the width of a line. The same as col% in "standard"
text,
but not always. Lists uses lines that are shorter than the
column,
as some space is used up for the bullet/number/label. Very
useful
if you're sticking an image in a list. Using line% may be a
good
idea in general, the sizing will then work no matter if it is
in a list, in a multicolumn text, a minipage, in a table
with fixed
column width - or in a standard page.
actually, these abbreviations are not very logic - i can choose width =
theight and hight=text - i find that confusing.
No reason _not_ to be able to choose width = height or vice versa.
It is useful when wanting a square layout, or something where
the width really depends on the height in some other way.
