Page limit for PPP #102

Closed SibingWu closed 4 years ago

SibingWu commented 4 years ago

I wonder if the heading and the tail count into the page limit? Those really occupy a lot of space image

Yes. The page limit takes into account that a significant amount of space is wasted by the template. Try to make the PPP concise; peer evaluators are not going to like it if you make them read a lot. Same applies for other 'tricks' such as using small fonts or narrow margins. It's not enough to meet the page limit in theory; you should also meet it in spirit -- i.e., make the content concise. If the content is concise, evaluators are unlikely to fault you for going over the page limit slightly.
