Frankly in modern use, most of the moveable type "cannons" [1] are nonsense, but can be implemented with document templates if needed/preferred for bound layouts. The "Double-Circle" single-page cannon [2] has merit for preparing new defaults based on locale. But as most publication styles (i.e. CSL) specify specific page size and corresponding margins for submission--our existing defaults--A4/2cm and Letter/.79in--are acceptable to vast majority of LO users. Others with more specialized needs should be preparing templates. =-ref-= [1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canons_of_page_construction">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canons_of_page_construction</a> [2] <a href="https://eegg.wordpress.com/2010/01/25/page-margins-in-principle-and-practice">https://eegg.wordpress.com/2010/01/25/page-margins-in-principle-and-practice</a></pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
