21.11 @smallbook
: Printing “Small” Books
By default, TeX typesets pages for printing in an 8.5 by 11 inch format. However, you can direct TeX to typeset a document in a 7 by 9.25 inch format that is suitable for bound books by inserting the following command on a line by itself at the beginning of the Texinfo file, before the title page:
@smallbook
(Since many books are about 7 by 9.25 inches, this command might better
have been called the @regularbooksize
command, but it came to be
called the @smallbook
command by comparison to the 8.5 by 11
inch format.)
If you write the @smallbook
command between the
start-of-header and end-of-header lines, the Texinfo mode TeX
region formatting command, texinfo-tex-region
, will format the
region in “small” book size (see section Start of Header).
See section @small…
Block Commands, for information about commands that make
it easier to produce examples for a smaller manual.
See section Format with texi2dvi
, and Preparing for TeX,
for other ways to format with @smallbook
that do not require
changing the source file.
