Document Classes ⇒ Document book and golden mean format

[PK_TeX]

Hi,

I need to format a book with 2 constraints:

1) the external format, like 135x215 (in mm)
2) the internal format, like the 'golden mean' margin (based on the Fibonacci series), which is a classical for "beautiful book" (from a time when the beautiful was more important than the cost)

The golden mean margins for this external format are supposed to be (in LaTeX format)

inner=14.111mm, outer=33.866mm, top=23.989mm, bottom=47.977mm

If I test the following code in my LateX document:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage[paperwidth=135mm, paperheight=215mm]{geometry}
\usepackage[inner=14.111mm, outer=33.866mm, top=23.989mm, bottom=47.977mm]{geometry}

it fails, complaining with

Code: Select all

Cogito.tex: erreur: 13: Option clash for package geometry. \usepackage

(even if I unify all the properties in a single \usepackage)

How can I have a book of 135mmx215mm with internal Golen Mean margins?

Thanks,

Hi,

(even if I unify all the properties in a single \usepackage)

LOL. Today it seems working with including all in the single \usepackage.

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

Good that you solved that problem. Indeed, we cannot load a package two times with different options. So a single \usepackage command is fine. Later in the document, you could use the \geometry command if you want do change other settings.
