Supporting other paper sizes #57

Closed saghirb closed 6 years ago

saghirb commented 6 years ago

File pinp.cls originally defined the settings for letter paper size but part of these were moved as part of [issue #24] to template.tex to support a4 paper size. [Pull request #55] moved the remaining settings to template.tex to accommodate other paper sizes. This changed the hard-coded PNAS settings for letter paper size to relative ones (not particularly desirable).

The current version of pinp package supports letter and a4 paper sizes. Is this enough? Should we support other paper sizes? If so, should we keep letter paper settings as per PNAS and make the rest relative where the preference would be to try to get it working in pinp.cls?

Yes it is enough, until actually hear from someone using different paper. So no we do not want other paper sizes. There is a benefit to minimal changes.

I wanted to use this layout for a5 paper size but this is easily resolved using some pdf command lines tools to create a5 size from a4 (with a font size adjustment). Agree with the minimal change approach :+1:

Good one. Did the same many moons ago when I still lived over in a3/a4/a5 land :)
