Page Layout ⇒ Margins and geometry

[niles]

Hi

Is there a recommended margin size for projects of the order ~20 pages? Currently I am using

\usepackage[margin=3cm]{geometry},

but I thought that perhaps there are some "standards" that people use? Perhaps some ratio is more pleasent to look at than others?

Best,
Niles.

It really depends on what kind of document this is, and what people are going to do with it... will they write in the margins? How many columns are there? Etc.

You might consider just sticking with the default margins from the geometry package, since someone gave those some thought anyway.

\usepackage{geometry}

Good point, thanks.
