Hi Everyone, I have made the bookletic package that splits the page into two smaller ones for ordering as a booklet. And right now I have the overall page size hardcoded so that I can divide it and set the size for the smaller pages but am trying to find a way to use the built in page sizes. Is the…

To supplement the previous answer: While layout generally gives the dimensions of the currently surrounding container, page.width and page.height give the page height/width specifically. They are only available within context. #set page(width: 500pt) #context page.width However, page.width will al…

Hello! You can access page size using the layout function. From the official documentation: #layout(size => { let half = 50% * size.width [Half a page is #half wide.] })

I have tried the context approach but have not been able to assign the value to a variable for use throughout the rest of the code. When I assign it like this: let variable = context page.width The variable ends up having the context function itself assigned rather than the actual value. Am I mis…

Thank you! That works! This is the structure that ended up working for others who might need it: #let sig (/*arguments*/) => { //Initialize stuff context { let signature-paper-height = page.height //Rest of package that uses value here } }

I would like to access the width of the page to calculate the minimum of page width or a given length so that I can make a table that will fit on one page. The only way to accomplish this is by wrapping the table in a context and then further wrapping the context in a function, and then calling tha…

Why is the value I receive from context always content? Questions

When working with context, you need to put everything that depends on the contextual information into the context block/expression itself. The explicit context expression is a trade-off: You get to know where in the document you are (accessible via here()) and which set rules are active there (accessible via things like text.lang). In return, the context value itself becomes opaque. You cannot peek into it, so everything that depends on the contextual information must happen within it. Let’s lo…
