\startnarrower ... \stopnarrower
Summary
The environment \startnarrower ... \stopnarrower is used to widen the margins temporarily
Settings
| \startnarrower[...,...] ... \stopnarrower | |
| [...,...] | [+-]left [+-]middle [+-]right number*left number*middle number*right reset reverse |
| Option | Explanation |
|---|---|
| [+-]left | means increase left-hand margin. |
| [+-]middle | means increase both margins. |
| [+-]right | means increase right-hand margin. |
Description
Make the margins wider on the left, the right, or (default) both sides. By default the margin(s) is/are made wider by 0.5cm; to change these distances, use \setupnarrower, or use \startnarrow. Using \startnarrower[left=2cm] does not work.
Tip
By preceding the argument with a negative sign (eg. \startnarrower[-2*left]) the text area can be made wider, rather than narrower.
Examples
Example 1
\setuppapersize[A6,landscape] \showframe \starttext The Gibbelins eat, as is well known, nothing less good than man. Their evil tower is joined to Terra Cognita, to the lands we know, by a bridge. \setupnarrower[left=1cm,right=3cm] \startnarrower (default, middle=0.5cm) Their hoard is beyond reason; avarice has no use for it; they have a separate cellar for emeralds and a separate cellar for sapphires; they have filled a hole with gold and dig it up when they need it. \stopnarrower \startnarrower[left,right] (1cm left, 3cm right) And the only use that is known for their ridiculous wealth is to attract to their larder a continual supply of food. \stopnarrower \setupnarrower[middle=1cm] \startnarrower (1cm middle) In times of famine they have even been known to scatter rubies abroad, a little trail of them to some city of Man, and sure enough their larders would soon be full again. \stopnarrower \blank[line] \rightaligned{---Lord Dunsany, \quote{The Hoard of the Gibbelins}, {\it The Book of Wonder}} \stoptext
