Hello, although I guess this is one of the really basic tasks, I'm not able to setup successfully page layout for double-sided printing.
My idea is to have different free "space" leftwards and rightwards from the
text area.
I just want to get different width of the left/right area: 2.5 cm left (for
binding) and 2 cm right (odd pages); and the same values mirrored for even
pages.
My code is:
---
\setuplayout[location=doublesided]
%\setuplayout[location=duplex]
%\setuplayout[location=middle]
\starttext
\showsetups
\showlayout
\showgrid
\dorecurse{1}{\input knuth\par}
\stoptext
---
You can see the result:
1. The left margin is "pushed" left, so only 2 cm of it is visible (but the margin should
have 2.5 cm - see listed value of "leftmargin").
- And obviously there is 0.5 cm extra "space" rightwards from the right margin.
Moreover, if any horizontal "pushing" is present, I'd expect shifting to the
right to get a bit more space left, so that to allow binding on the left side. (I tried
the horizontal shift to the left was the same for single- and double-sided setup.)
2. Horizontal "pushing" (shifting) is the same for even and odd pages.
- I succeeded to remove horizontal "pushing" by setting the "backspace" value
to 3 cm.
But it's strange to me that one has to set this value explicitly, when keeping
all other values default.
- I'm still not able to provide switching the size of the left/right "space"
for even/odd pages.
So how to achieve this?
Btw: Why the dimensions (<- \showsetups) are printed 5 times?
Thank you for patience.
Lukas
