En poques paraules
Una pàgina de còmic dibuixada una vegada i maquetada de tres maneres. Les mateixes cinc imatges i els mateixos diàlegs omplen tres reixes de vinyetes diferents, i cada imatge es retalla de nou per a la seva vinyeta.
Què compondràs
Una prova de maqueta per a una pàgina de còmic, La llum de Porthcove: una portada i la mateixa pàgina en tres plans, perquè l’autor triï. Les cinc imatges (la Maya pujant al far, el seu avi davant una ràdio muda, la Maya assenyalant el terra, el gat adormit sobre el cable, el far encès de nit) i els sis textos retolats no canvien; només canvia el split de cada :::page. Cada imatge es retalla un altre cop per a la seva vinyeta i cada bafarada es col·loca un altre cop al costat de qui parla. El format és el d’un còmic americà, 168 × 259 mm, i la prova surt en sis edicions, cadascuna retolada en el seu idioma.
Aquesta recepta respon a
- Com divideixo una pàgina en vinyetes?
- Com evito que el retall d'una vinyeta talli la cara d'un personatge?
- Com retolo un còmic en una altra llengua?
La resposta curta
// Every :::page fills the type area; its split attribute cuts it into cells and its ::panel
// lines fill them in reading order (rows top to bottom, columns from the start side):
// :::page{split="30 / 35 [* | * | *] / *"} three tiers, the middle one in three
// :::page{split="60 [* / *] | * [* / * / *]"} two columns, then each column in tiers
// :::page{split="30 [30 | 20 | *] / *"} a 30 % tier cut 30 | 20 | rest, then the rest
// A size is a percentage of the parent cell, * shares what is left, [ … ] cuts that cell
// on the other axis. A panel with inset="x y w h" sits over the panel before it.
const comics = {
gutter: { horizontal: mm(4), vertical: mm(3) }, // between tiers, between panels in a tier

Elaboració
#1 · Talla la pàgina amb un arbre de divisió
El codi és la resposta curta de dalt. Un :::page ocupa la caixa de la pàgina, aquí 144 × 227 mm, i el seu atribut split la talla. / separa files, | separa columnes, cada mesura és un percentatge de la cel·la que talla, * reparteix el que queda i un claudàtor torna a tallar aquella cel·la en l’altre eix (dividir la pàgina). El pla C, 30 [30 | 20 | *] / *, fa una tira del 30 % d’alt, la parteix en cel·les del 30 % i del 20 % d’ample més la resta, i deixa a sota una sola cel·la alta. Els carrers queden a cavall de cada línia: 4 mm entre tires, 3 mm entre vinyetes d’una mateixa tira. Les línies ::panel omplen les cel·les en ordre de lectura: les files de dalt a baix i les columnes des del costat d’inici.

#2 · Dona a cada imatge una zona segura
// From the art manifest; fractions of each picture, the same in every language. The safe
// area is what every crop keeps: Tomás alone, not his radio, so a cell a fifth of the page
// wide still shows him; the lighthouse and the gallery, not the boat, so a tall cell holds them.

Cada imatge es dibuixa una vegada i es retalla per omplir la cel·la que li toqui. La zona segura és el que tot retall conserva sencer (vinyetes i imatges). La de la ràdio és només el faroner, el 24 % de l’amplada, de manera que la cel·la de 26 mm del pla C el mostra de la gorra a les botes i deixa fora la ràdio; les cel·les amples dels plans A i B ensenyen totes dues coses. Si una cel·la no pot contenir la zona segura, la imatge queda amb bandes i la composició avisa (comicPanelLetterbox). Les àncores marquen la boca i la cara de cada personatge en les mateixes fraccions, i així els rabets el troben en qualsevol retall.
#3 · Posa una vinyeta sobre una altra
La divisió del pla C dona quatre cel·les per a cinc vinyetes. El gat hi entra amb inset="50 50 46 46": una vinyeta del 46 % d’ample i d’alt, col·locada al 50 %, 50 % de la vinyeta anterior, la de la Maya. Una vinyeta inserida no ocupa cel·la, de manera que les següents conserven el seu lloc, i es llegeix just després de la que tapa.
#4 · Retola sis edicions amb la mateixa maqueta
// The lettering and sound-effect faces of each edition: the engine's defaults, but for Chinese
// two ZCOOL faces drawn for cartoons instead of Noto Sans SC. content.<lang>.md holds the words
// of each edition under the same speaker ids; Japanese balloons are set vertically, and the
// Japanese and Arabic editions, read right to left, mirror the order of the panels in every row.
const [LETTERING, SFX] = t({
en: ['Comic Neue', 'Bangers'], es: ['Comic Neue', 'Bangers'], ca: ['Comic Neue', 'Bangers'],
ja: ['Zen Antique', 'Dela Gothic One'], zh: ['ZCOOL KuaiLe', 'ZCOOL QingKe HuangYou'],
ar: ['Playpen Sans Arabic', 'Lalezar'], pt: ['Comic Neue', 'Bangers'],
});
La divisió, les imatges, els retalls i les àncores són iguals en tots els idiomes; content.<lang>.md només porta les paraules, amb els mateixos identificadors de personatge (maya, tomas). L’edició japonesa compon les bafarades en vertical, amb vuit caràcters per columna, i treu el 。 final; es llegeix de dreta a esquerra, com l’àrab, així que les vinyetes de cada fila s’inverteixen, però les imatges no. El cos de la retolació és 8 pt en totes: un text més llarg dona una bafarada més gran, mai una lletra més petita (retolació).
