Where do I find a list of the dimensions of document classes

Post by pktm »

Dear all!

I define my document by the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,german,a4]{article}
I want to know how big the borders and margins are. Where do I find this information?

Best regards,
pktm

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

That's a job for the layout package.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,ngerman]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{selinput}
\SelectInputMappings{%
  adieresis={ä},
  germandbls={ß},
  Euro={€}
}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{layout}

\begin{document}
  \layout
\end{document}
