Dear @snaekobbi/experts, Question regarding the following requirements:

4.5:80: The user shall have control over the page dimensions and the size of page margins.
4.5:82: The header and footer layout shall be able to change between sections within the document.
4.5:85: When printing double-sided, the system shall allow the page layout (page margins as well as header and footer layout) to differ between left- and right-hand pages.

More specifically I wonder with which granularity page margins need to be controlled. I haven't found any examples of this particular part of the requirements yet.

Do we need to be able to set different margins for different sections, or is a document-wide setting enough?
When printing double sided, are the inner margins of a sheet always equal, and similarly are the outer margins of a sheet always equal?

With regard to 4.5:85: For books bound by a metal coil we are considering using a narrow left margin on the left-hand page and a wide left margin on the right-hand page. The opposite holds for the right margin. This is done to avoid braille close to the metal coil. Document-level control is good enough. Same for top/bottom margins, which don't alternate for left-hand and right-hand pages.

@snaekobbi/experts Another question: are there any use cases for having blank lines between the footer and the page content? Like this:

text text text
text continues ...

       footer
--------------------
on next page

As to 4.5:85: in our fiction books (majority of our production) as well as in some non-fiction books the page layout differs between left- and right-hand pages in that right-hand pages have a footer (whereas left-hand pages don't). However, the page margins are equal (of about 1.5 cm) on both sides, which means a waste of space on the side opposite the metal coil. Therefore, Davy's idea of alternating margins could be an interesting feature for us, too.
