  • You want to reduce the vsize by maxdepth, so descenders in the last line will appear. Also the baselineskip should be adjusted in order to fit an exact number of lines: vsize=dimexprpageheight-maxdepthrelax and baselineskip=dimexpr(vsize-topskip)/21relax will fit 22 lines on a baselineskip of 12.06661pt.

as they mask the primitives which if set will affect the size of the media box in the pdf. Also take account of the default 1in origin (currently you have hsize equal to pagewidth but offset by 1in.)



pagewidth=3.5in % the width of each page
pageheight=3.7in % the height of each page
hoffset=-1in

Short answer: remove your top two lines that declare pagewidth and pageheight, because those are actually the LuaTeX dimensions that you want to control.



In more detail:



  • hsize and vsize are (roughly speaking) the dimensions within which TeX tries to typeset the content. In plain (Knuth) TeX, which produces only DVI, there is no further notion of physical paper size. But by default when printed the contents will appear at an offset of (1 inch + hoffset) from the left edge of the paper, and (1 inch + voffset) from the top edge.


  • In pdfTeX (and XeTeX), pdfpagewidth and pdfpageheight are the primitives that control the dimensions of the actual page in PDF. In LuaTeX, they are called simply pagewidth and pageheight.


When you use newdimenpagewidth you're clobbering the primitive so that it's no longer usable. So simply remove the top two lines in your question. Also, to account for the 1-inch margins, you should either make hoffset and voffset negative, or make the paper size bigger.



output



pagewidth=5.5in % the width of each page
pageheight=5.7in % the height of each page
hsize=dimexpr (pagewidth - 2in) relax
vsize=dimexpr (pageheight - 2in) relax

  • @egreg yes but unless you have existing page layout macros using hoffset setting hoffset=-10in or horigin=0pt comes to the same thing, I think.

  • No. One can then use hoffset and voffset for independent corrections if the printer driver has personal ideas.

Short answer: remove your top two lines that declare pagewidth and pageheight, because those are actually the LuaTeX dimensions that you want to control.



In more detail:



  • hsize and vsize are (roughly speaking) the dimensions within which TeX tries to typeset the content. In plain (Knuth) TeX, which produces only DVI, there is no further notion of physical paper size. But by default when printed the contents will appear at an offset of (1 inch + hoffset) from the left edge of the paper, and (1 inch + voffset) from the top edge.


  • In pdfTeX (and XeTeX), pdfpagewidth and pdfpageheight are the primitives that control the dimensions of the actual page in PDF. In LuaTeX, they are called simply pagewidth and pageheight.


When you use newdimenpagewidth you're clobbering the primitive so that it's no longer usable. So simply remove the top two lines in your question. Also, to account for the 1-inch margins, you should either make hoffset and voffset negative, or make the paper size bigger.



output



pagewidth=5.5in % the width of each page
pageheight=5.7in % the height of each page
hsize=dimexpr (pagewidth - 2in) relax
vsize=dimexpr (pageheight - 2in) relax

Long meetings (6-7 hours a day): Being “babysat” by supervisor

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 31 down vote favorite 4 I hold a PhD in mechanical engineering with a 7 year background in self-guided, self-paced research including 2 years as a graduate level course instructor and a subject matter expert for various engineering projects in a university setting in the United States. For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

Confectionery

Image
Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
