Dear List,
\starttext \showframe \showsetups \stoptext
This minimal example without further configuration shows that the default value for backspace, textwidth and paperwidth are 2.5cm, 15cm, 21cm resp., which means that the textarea is horizontally 0.5cm off the center by default, and one can indeed see a clear extra margin on the right side.
This seems weird but I'm no expert of typesetting, so does anyone know why it has been set like that?
%D The default dimensions are quite old and will not change. The funny fractions %D were introduced when we went from fixed dimensions to relative ones. Since %D \CONTEXT\ is a dutch package, the dimensions are based on the metric system. The %D asymmetrical layout is kind of handy for short quick||and||dirty stapled %D documents. https://github.com/contextgarden/context-mirror/blob/343fdd99ef79884fca1f86b...
Thanks.
