page-canons

Classical page-layout canons with margin-note support

Description

page-canons implements classical page-layout canons with in-house margin-note and sidenote support. Its only declared runtime dependency is geometry; all other functionality is self-contained.

Supported canons:

• Van de Graaf (medieval proportions; text block matches page aspect);
• Villard de Honnecourt (parametric family, N = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15);
• Tufte (asymmetric, wide outer margin);
• Canon des Ateliers (ordinary, neater, luxury variants);
• Grid (modular N x N system with full control).

Other inclusions:

• Four margin modes (symmetric, antisymmetric, right, left);
• gutter support with two calculation modes;
• a fullwidth environment;
• exported dimensions for margin-aware content.
