Texinfo, A4 paper, double-sided, margins |

Hello Karl,
I have a simple problem with emacs.texi. I am trying to generate a
double-sided report out of it on the European A4 format. I am focusing
on Emacs-21.2 and I use the latest texinfo.tex file (2002-03-26.07).
However, I am not very happy with the results...
I use @afourpaper and @afourlatex but I have in both cases, a problem
with the offset (odd and even pages...). Moreover, I think (especially
with afourlatex) that the margin are too big, I would like to reduce
them. I looked in the @afourpaper and @afourlatex section in texinfo.tex
but it is too odd for me... I don't really grasp the syntax. I tried
@papersizes also but unfortunately, @papersizes does not recompute the
margins automatically or give the possibility to simply specify the
margins wanted.
Here is my problem with @afourlatex (with @afourpaper, that's the same
kind of problem). I take one odd and one even page as an example:
Page 22: Margin on the top: 20mm
Margin on the bottom: 40mm
Margin on the left: 30mm
Margin on the right: 40mm (however, there might be some space
reserved for footnotes, I am not really sure)
Page 23: Margin on the top: 20mm
Margin on the bottom: 40mm
Margin on the left: 35mm
Margin on the right: 35mm (however, there might be some space
reserved for footnotes, I am not really sure)
So now, If I put print them on a single sheet of paper and if I looked
through the paper I clearly see that the side margins do not fit:
30mm <-> 35mm
40mm <-> 35mm
Here is what I would like to achieve:
Page 22: Margin on the top: 20mm
Margin on the bottom: 20mm (the real bottom of the page, footnotes
included)
Margin on the left: 20mm
Margin on the right: 20mm
Page 23: Margin on the top: 20mm
Margin on the bottom: 20mm (the real bottom of the page, footnotes
included)
Margin on the left: 20mm
Margin on the right: 20mm
I might decide to have some margin for the binding:
Page 22: Margin on the top: 20mm
Margin on the bottom: 20mm (the real bottom of the page, footnotes
included)
Margin on the left: 20mm
Margin on the right: 25mm
Page 23: Margin on the top: 20mm
Margin on the bottom: 20mm (the real bottom of the page, footnotes
included)
Margin on the left: 25mm
Margin on the right: 20mm
In any cases, when I superimpose the two pages I obtain:
20mm <-> 20mm
20mm <-> 20mm
25mm <-> 25mm
20mm <-> 20mm
An A4 pages is 210mm x 297 mm
and 1 inch = 25.4 mm
So here is my question: How do I do that? What shall I modify in
texinfo.tex to get what I want to have?
