Rename odd/even to recto/verso #36

Closed jelovirt closed 2 years ago

jelovirt commented 3 years ago

Should odd and even page configuration keys be renamed to recto (right-hand, odd-numbered pages) and verso (left-hand, even-numbered pages), respectively? The new terms would be less common, but they would be more accurate.

For example Asciidoctor PDF uses recto and verso

Ping @infotexture, what's your take?

Add support for both, but rewrite to one or the other during normalization stage.

Sorry I missed this earlier, but I don't have a strong preference. 🤷

The odd/even variants are probably more widely understood, but supporting recto/verso publishing jargon makes sense.

We can document them as alternatives if the final implementation supports both.
