<tmdoc-title|Layout issues>
|
|
|
|
As a general rule, <TeXmacs> takes care of the layout of your text.
|
|
Therefore, although we did not want to forbid this possibility, we do not
|
|
encourage you to typeset your document visually. For instance, you should
|
|
not insert spaces or blank lines as substitutes for horizontal and vertical
|
|
spaces between words and lines; instead, additional space should be
|
|
inserted explicitly using <menu|Insert|Space>. This will make your text
|
|
more robust in the sense that you will not have to reconsider the layout
|
|
when performing some minor changes, which affect line or page breaking, or
|
|
major changes, such as changing the document style.
|
|
|
|
Several types of explicit spacing commands have been implemented. First of
|
|
all, you can insert rigid spaces of given widths and heights. Horizontal
|
|
spaces do not have a height and are either stretchable or not. The length
|
|
of a stretchable spaces depends on the way a paragraph is hyphenated.
|
|
Furthermore, it is possible to insert tabular spaces. Vertical spaces may
|
|
be inserted either at the start or the end of a paragraph: the additional
|
|
vertical space between two paragraphs is the maximum of the vertical space
|
|
after the first one and the vertical space before the second one (contrary
|
|
to <TeX>, this prevents from superfluous space between two consecutive
|
|
theorems).
|
|
|
|
As to the paragraph layout, the user may specify the paragraph style
|
|
(justified, left ragged, centered or right ragged), the paragraph margins
|
|
and the left (resp. right) indentation of the first (resp. last) line of a
|
|
paragraph. The user also controls the spaces between paragraphs and
|
|
successive lines in paragraphs.
|
|
|
|
You can specify the page layout in the <menu|Document|Page> menu. First of
|
|
all, you can specify the way pages are displayed on the screen: when
|
|
selecting \Ppaper\Q as page type in <menu|Document|Page|Type>, you
|
|
explicitly see the page breaks. By default, the page type is \Ppapyrus\Q,
|
|
which avoids page breaking during the preparation of your document. The
|
|
\Pautomatic\Q page type assumes that your paper size is exactly the size of
|
|
your window. The page margins and text width are specified in
|
|
<menu|Document|Page|Layout>. Often, it is convenient to reduce the page
|
|
margins for usage on the screen; this can be done in
|
|
<menu|Document|Page|Screen layout>.
