Lo que vas a componer
La memoria de 2025 de Tidewell Community Energy, una cooperativa inventada con dos aerogeneradores, un huerto solar y paneles en 21 tejados. Cinco páginas de 210 × 280 mm, en inglés. En la cubierta, dos cintas dibujan mes a mes la producción eólica y la solar bajo un «2025» de 150 pt. Siguen la carta de la presidenta, el informe de explotación y las cuentas, a dos columnas justificadas de Brygada 1918 sobre una rejilla de 50 líneas. Las columnas llenas acaban en la última línea, y las cortas, a la altura de su vecina. Un recuadro de tres cifras cruza la página de la carta, y una nota flotante sobre los contadores abre la página 4. En la página de cierre, las columnas acaban juntas sobre la cuenta de resultados. Un atributo palette tiñe de verde azulado las páginas de explotación y de rojo ladrillo la de cuentas.
Esta receta responde a
- ¿Cómo consigo columnas a ras del pie y una última página equilibrada (justificación vertical)?
- ¿Cómo pongo un recuadro que cruce las dos columnas a media página, como un panel de cifras en tres bloques?
- ¿Cómo llevo un recuadro a la cabeza o al pie de la página sin que el texto deje de llenarla?
- ¿Cómo hago una tabla con filas de cabecera, celdas combinadas, anchos de columna y alineación por celda?
- ¿Cómo divido un libro en partes o secciones, cada una con su color y su portadilla?
La respuesta corta
// The text block is LINES lines of LEAD deep (MARGIN.bottom is derived from them) and every
// heading takes whole lines, so a column the break rules leave short is short by whole lines.
// Balancing (on by default) stretches it back to its foot with its levers, in this order: a
// box that closes the column moves down to it; lines above the headings; one line where a
// list ends; one line under a float at the column head; last, a paragraph set one line longer
// and looser, with up to maxTracking of tracking. A closing band whose columns differ by more
// than a line is cut level instead (trailing), and so is the band a page-wide box leaves when
// it has to move on to the next page (beforeSpan).
const balancing = { maxLinesPerHeading: 1 }; // one line per heading; the next lever takes more
const flowText = { // justification, hyphenation and Knuth–Plass stay at their defaults (on)
fontFamily: 'Brygada 1918', fontSize: pt(9.4), lineHeight: pt(LEAD),
firstLineIndent: mm(4), indentAfterHeading: false,
minWordSpacing: 0.7, maxWordSpacing: 1.8, // word spaces 0.7–1.8 of normal (defaults 0.6–2)
};
const onGrid = { lineHeight: pt(LEAD), marginTop: pt(LEAD), marginBottom: pt(0) }; // one line
// hook-up: headings: { balancing, levels: [..., { level: 2, ...onGrid }] }, bodyText: flowText

Elaboración
#1 · Todo sobre la rejilla, y las palancas cierran los huecos
El código es la respuesta corta de arriba. La caja de texto mide exactamente 50 líneas de 13,4 pt, y el margen inferior (21,6 mm) se calcula a partir de esa altura. Cada ladillo ocupa una línea de la rejilla encima y otra propia, así que una columna que acaba corta se queda corta en líneas enteras, que es lo que añade el equilibrado de columnas. En la página 3, el párrafo de tres líneas sobre el granizo pasa entero a la página 4 por avoidOrphans, el ajuste con el que Postext impide que la última línea de un párrafo quede sola en la cabeza de una columna (la línea viuda de los manuales españoles), y la columna derecha se queda dos líneas corta. Con maxLinesPerHeading: 1, una de esas líneas va al espacio sobre The Saltings and the roofs y la otra queda para la palanca siguiente, que la pone tras la lista de tejados. Con el valor por defecto, 4, irían las dos sobre el título.
#2 · Iguala el texto sobre un recuadro que cruza la página
// In the Markdown: :::callout{type="figures" span="page"} around :::columns{count=3 breaks="3,5"},
// each number a :::paragraphs{style="figure"} of **8.47 GWh**, then its line of text.
const figures = { id: 'figures', background: col('ink'), columnGap: mm(GUTTER),
padding: { top: mm(5), right: mm(5), bottom: mm(5), left: mm(5) },
marginTop: pt(LEAD), marginBottom: pt(LEAD), titleStyle: { ...boxTitle, color: col('sun') },
body: { fontFamily: 'Epilogue', fontSize: pt(9), lineHeight: pt(12), color: col('paper'),
...boxText } };
const bigNumber = { id: 'figure', fontFamily: 'Epilogue', fontSize: pt(26), lineHeight: pt(31),
color: col('paper'), boldColor: col('sun'), ...boxText };
Un recuadro con span="page" parte en bandas una página a dos columnas. En la página 2, la carta se corta en ocho líneas por columna encima del recuadro y sigue debajo en las dos columnas. Dentro, :::columns{count=3 breaks="3,5"} abre la segunda y la tercera columna en la segunda y la tercera cifra (los bloques tercero y quinto del grupo), en lugar de cortar donde las columnas quedarían más igualadas. El estilo de párrafo figure compone esas cifras a 26 pt, y su boldColor las pone en amarillo.
#3 · Haz flotar un recuadro a la cabeza de la página siguiente
// In the Markdown: :::callout{type="aside" span="page" placement="top"}. It leaves the flow
// where it stands and takes the head of the next page the flow opens; the text goes on
// filling this one. It has a stripe in the section's colour and no fill. The padding under
// the text drops the floats below the box by a grid line, so they stand clear of it.
const aside = { id: 'aside', backgroundEnabled: false, columnGap: mm(GUTTER),
stripe: { enabled: true, side: 'top', width: pt(2.5), color: col('band') },
padding: { top: mm(3.5), right: pt(0), bottom: mm(3.5), left: pt(0) },
titleStyle: { ...boxTitle, color: col('band') },
body: { fontFamily: 'Epilogue', fontSize: pt(8.6), lineHeight: pt(12.2), color: col('ink'),
...boxText } };
En el Markdown, la nota sobre los contadores va tras el primer párrafo sobre Harrow Down, en la página 3, pero placement="top" la saca del flujo y la coloca en la cabeza de la página siguiente. El informe llena el resto de la página 3, y la página 4 se abre con el recuadro sobre las dos columnas. Debajo, la tabla por emplazamiento y el gráfico de anillo, ambos con position: 'top', encabezan una columna cada uno, una línea de la rejilla más abajo de lo que quedarían sin los 3,5 mm de relleno inferior del recuadro.
#4 · Da a cada sección su color sin portadilla
const palette = {
ink: '#14202b', // text: a blue-black
band: '#0b5d7a', // sea, overridden by palette="band=#…" on the :::part fences
wind: '#3aa6a0', sun: '#f2b134', coral: '#e2674b', // the data colours of the charts
tint: '#eef3f5', // subtotal rows
rule: '#c9d3d9', // hairlines
muted: '#566370', // captions' notes and the running feet
mist: '#9fb1bd', // small print on the ink cover
paper: '#ffffff',
};
// Designs paint the hex (gotcha: palette-skips-designs); a :::part recolours by paletteId.
const col = (id) => ({ hex: palette[id], model: 'hex', paletteId: id });
const colorPalette = Object.entries(palette)
.map(([id, hex]) => ({ id, name: id, value: { hex, model: 'hex' } }));
Con parts: { page: false }, una valla como :::part{number="02" title="Operations" palette="band=#1c6e67"} no abre página. Da nombre a la sección en la franja de apertura y junto al folio, y cambia band en todas las páginas hasta la parte siguiente. Las franjas, los ladillos, las viñetas de la lista, las etiquetas de los pies y el filete de la nota toman band, así que las páginas de explotación salen en verde azulado y la de cuentas en rojo ladrillo, mientras la carta conserva el azul mar de base (colores por parte).
#5 · Construye las tablas con los datos e iguala la última página
const DATA = {
// Output in MWh at the export meter, January to December 2025.
wind: [560, 520, 450, 330, 270, 210, 190, 150, 300, 420, 480, 540], // Harrow Down
sun: [90, 160, 300, 440, 560, 600, 580, 500, 380, 250, 120, 70], // the Saltings + 21 roofs
// The turbines' year, % of the hours of both machines: [label, share, palette colour].
hours: [['generating', 78.0, 'wind'], ['waiting for wind', 16.8, 'rule'], ['bearing repair', 2.6,
'coral'], ['servicing and grid', 1.8, 'sun'], ['stopped for bats', 0.8, 'ink']],
// Output by site in MWh: [site, source, capacity in MW, 2025, 2024].
sites: [['Harrow Down', 'wind', 1.8, 4420, 4560], ['The Saltings', 'solar', 3.2, 3190, 2640],
['21 roofs', 'solar', 0.9, 860, 790]],
// £ thousand, [label, 2025, 2024]; a label alone opens a group, '=' prints the running sum.
accounts: [['Income'], ['Electricity sold under the power purchase agreement', 760, 722],
['Electricity sold to roof hosts', 92, 85], ['Feed-in tariff', 236, 229], ['=Total income'],
['Operating costs'], ['Operation and maintenance', -231, -198],
['Rent, rates and insurance', -158, -151], ['Staff and administration', -121, -112],
['Depreciation', -286, -286], ['=Operating surplus'],
['Interest on the Harrow Down loan', -54, -66], ['Interest on members’ shares at 3.5%', -113,
-107], ['Grants to the Tidewell Fund', -84, -70], ['Corporation tax', -5, -7],
['=Surplus for the year']],
};
const fill = { background: col('tint') }; // totals sit on a tint between two hairlines
const right = (content, extra) => ({ content, align: 'right', ...extra });
const figure = (n, digits = 0) => n.toLocaleString('en-GB', { minimumFractionDigits: digits });
const head = (c, i) => (i ? right(c, { isHeader: true }) : { content: c, isHeader: true });
const siteTable = (rows) => ({ headerRowCount: 1, columnWidths: [3, 1, 1.3, 1.3], rows: [
['Site', 'MW', '2025', '2024'].map(head),
...rows.map(([site, source, mw, ...n]) => [{ content: `${site} *(${source})*` },
right(figure(mw, 1)), ...n.map((v) => right(figure(v)))]),
[{ content: '**All sites**', ...fill }, ...[2, 3, 4].map((i, k) => right(`**${figure(rows
.reduce((sum, row) => sum + row[i], 0), k ? 0 : 1)}**`, fill))]] }); // the totals, summed
// Accounting style: losses in brackets, and gains followed by a no-break space as wide as a
// bracket, so the digits line up. Cells are trimmed, so a word joiner (U+2060) keeps it.
const pad = '\u00a0\u2060';
const money = (n) => (n < 0 ? `(${figure(-n)})` : `${figure(n)}${pad}`);
function statement(rows) {
const sum = [0, 0];
const cells = [['£ thousand', `2025${pad}`, `2024${pad}`].map(head)];
for (const [label, ...years] of rows) {
years.forEach((n, i) => { sum[i] += n; });
const sub = label.startsWith('='); // a subtotal: the running sum, in bold
cells.push(sub ? [{ content: `**${label.slice(1)}**`, ...fill },
...sum.map((n) => right(`**${money(n)}**`, fill))]
: [{ content: years.length ? label : `*${label}*` }, // a label alone heads a group
...[0, 1].map((i) => right(years.length ? money(years[i]) : ''))]);
}
// mergeCells writes the cells a spanning group head hides (gotcha: merged-cells-hiddenby)
return cells.reduce((model, row, r) => (r && !row[1].content ? mergeCells(model,
{ start: { row: r, col: 0 }, end: { row: r, col: 2 } }) : model),
{ rows: cells, headerRowCount: 1, columnWidths: [5, 1, 1] });
}
statement() convierte DATA.accounts en la cuenta de resultados fila a fila. Una etiqueta que empieza por = imprime en negrita, sobre el tinte, la suma acumulada de cada año. Los costes van en negativo en los datos, así que el Operating surplus sale de esa suma sin teclear ningún total. Una etiqueta sin cifras, como Income u Operating costs, pasa a ser una sola celda en cursiva a lo ancho de la tabla, combinada con mergeCells, que escribe también las celdas ocultas que necesita cada combinación. En la página 5, la cuenta va como flotante a lo ancho del pie, bajo el informe de la tesorera, con el que acaba el documento. Sin equilibrado, las columnas llegarían a 12 líneas la izquierda y a 9 la derecha; el corte de cierre deja las dos en 11, y la palanca de títulos añade sobre Cash and reserves la línea que aún le falta a la derecha.

Together they made 8.47 gigawatt-hours in the year, 6% more than in 2024. At the regulator’s figure of 2,700 kilowatt-hours for a typical home, that is the yearly use of about 3,100 households, more than there are in Tidewell itself. The board was most pleased by how evenly the output was spread over the year. The turbines are strongest from October to March and the panels from April to September, and in 2025 each covered for the other so well that no month fell below 600 megawatt-hours. The operations report shows the two side by side. :::callout{type="figures" span="page" title="2025 in three numbers"} :::columns{count=3 breaks="3,5"} :::paragraphs{style="figure"} **8.47 GWh** ::: generated by our turbines and panels, 6% more than in 2024 :::paragraphs{style="figure"} **2,316** ::: members at 31 December, 188 of them new this year :::paragraphs{style="figure"} **£84,000** ::: granted by the Tidewell Fund to 23 projects in the town ::: ::: The costliest setback came in August, when the main bearing of turbine 2 began to fail and the machine stood still for 19 days while a crane crew replaced it. Our insurer paid most of the bill, but the part it did not cover, together with the lost output, is the main reason why the surplus is a little smaller than last year’s. The treasurer explains the effect on the accounts in her report. Membership grew to 2,316 by the end of December. In all, 188 people joined, most of them through the share offer we ran with the three primary schools in May, and 31 withdrew their shares, nearly all of them because they had moved away. Our youngest member is nine; her shares were a birthday present. We paid 3.5% interest on shares for the eighth year running. The Tidewell Fund, which takes a share of each year’s surplus, made 23 grants worth £84,000. They paid for loft insulation in the scout hut and the chapel hall, a library of electric cargo bikes and a warm-homes advice service that visited 140 households last winter. In the coming year we will ask you to approve our largest investment since the Saltings: a battery beside the solar field that stores 2 megawatt-hours, so that we can sell the midday output in the evening, when the grid pays most for it. The district council gave planning permission in November. The board will present the business case at the annual general meeting on 14 May, and members will decide there by a simple majority. Volunteers read the 21 roof meters every month, and eleven of them share the shifts on our stall at the Saturday market. Thank you to them, to the staff in the office on Quay Street, and to every member for trusting the co-op with their savings. I look forward to seeing many of you in May. ::resource{id="signature"} :::paragraphs{style="signoff"} Maren Coles, chair of the board ::: :::part{number="02" title="Operations" palette="band=#1c6e67"} ::: # Harrow Down, the Saltings \\ and 21 roofs {kicker="Operations report" standfirst="How two wind turbines, a solar field and the panels on schools, halls and the fire station ran in 2025. By Dev Okafor, operations manager."} Our three sites generated 8,470 megawatt-hours of electricity in 2025, up from 7,990 the year before (:ref{id="monthly"}). The turbines made 4,420 of them and the panels 4,050: it is the first year in which the sun came within a tenth of the wind. Every figure in this report is measured at the export meter, and the box overleaf explains what that means. ## Harrow Down The two 900-kilowatt turbines ran at an average capacity factor of 28.0%, against 28.8% in 2024. January was their windiest month since they were commissioned in 2015, at 560 megawatt-hours, with a gust of 31 metres a second recorded at hub height on the 24th. The storm cost us nothing but a tripped breaker at the substation, reset within the hour. :::callout{type="aside" span="page" placement="top" title="How we count a kilowatt-hour"} :::columns{count=2 breaks="2"} Every site has two meters. The turbines and inverters log what they generate, and a meter owned by the grid operator records what leaves the site. The figures in this report are the second kind: what the grid bought from us, after the site’s own use and the losses in cables and transformers, which come to about 2% at Harrow Down. The grid operator reads the export meters every half hour, and each month we check its readings against our own logs. Where the two disagree by more than 1%, the operator’s reading stands, because it is the one we are paid for. Roof hosts are billed from their own meters, read by a volunteer on the first Saturday of each month. ::: ::: Turbine 2 lost 19 days in August. A vibration alarm on 4 August led to an inspection that found spalling on the races of the main bearing, and we stopped the machine rather than risk the gearbox behind it. The replacement came from the manufacturer’s store in Bremen, a crane crew fitted it in two days of calm weather, and the turbine was back in service on 23 August. Turbine 1 ran through the summer, stopping only for its scheduled service in June. ## The Saltings and the roofs The solar field produced 3,190 megawatt-hours from its 3.2 megawatts of panels, or 997 kilowatt-hours for every kilowatt installed, its best since it opened in 2019. June was the strongest month on record for our panels, at 600 megawatt-hours across all sites. On the 21 roofs the panels made 860 megawatt-hours (:ref{id="sites"}). The three largest roofs were: - Tidewell Academy, 212 megawatt-hours; - the leisure centre, 148; - the fire station, 61. Roof hosts used 610 megawatt-hours on site, at 15p a kilowatt-hour, well below what a supplier would charge, and the rest went to the grid. In March a hailstorm cracked 38 panels at Saltmarsh Primary. The installer replaced them under warranty within a fortnight. ## Availability The turbines were available for 94.8% of the hours in the year, down from 97.9% in 2024 (:ref{id="hours"}). The hours they could not run, counted across both machines, were lost to: - the bearing repair on turbine 2, 2.6% of the year; - servicing and grid outages, 1.8%; - the summer nights stopped for bats, 0.8%: both turbines stop on warm, calm nights from May to September, when bats feed around the towers, as the planning consent requires. For the rest of the year the turbines were either generating, 78.0% of the hours, or waiting with the wind below the 3 metres a second they need to start turning. The maintenance contract with the manufacturer guarantees 97% availability, and it pays us for the output lost below that level: £21,000 for 2025, which appears in the accounts as a reduction in maintenance costs. ## Grid limits On eleven sunny afternoons in May and June the distribution network operator asked us to cap the Saltings’ export at half its capacity while it rebuilt the overhead line at Marsh End. It paid us for the 64 megawatt-hours we could not export, at the price in our power purchase agreement; they are left out of this report’s output figures. The rebuilt line can carry the field’s full output, so the caps should not return. ## The sites Nobody was hurt at work on our sites in 2025, our tenth year without a lost-time accident. A flock of 140 Southdown ewes kept the grass short under the panels on the Saltings from March to October; they belong to a farmer in the next parish, who pays no rent for the grazing. In June the ecologist’s survey counted 31 skylark territories in the field margins, against 24 before the field was built. Three schools and a Scout group came to the open day at Harrow Down in September. ## The year ahead Turbine 1 is due the ten-year inspection of its gearbox in April, and we have booked the work for a week with a low wind forecast. On the Saltings we will replace the fence along the sea wall, which the winter tides have undermined in two places, and plant the hawthorn hedge that the planning consent asked for. If members approve the battery in May, the connection works would start in the autumn, and the battery could be storing the field’s midday output by the summer of 2027. :::part{number="03" title="Finances" palette="band=#b0452c"} ::: # Paying 3.5% and still \\ adding to reserves {kicker="Treasurer’s report" standfirst="Income rose 5% to £1.09 million. After interest, grants and tax, the co-op kept a surplus of £36,000. By Alison Pryce, treasurer."} Our income for the year was £1,088,000, 5% more than in 2024 (:ref{id="accounts"}). Almost all of the increase came from selling more electricity: the price set in our power purchase agreement hardly changed at its review in April. Costs rose by £49,000. Operation and maintenance came to £231,000, £33,000 more than in 2024: the bearing repair cost us £54,000 after insurance, and the manufacturer’s availability guarantee paid back £21,000. Out of an operating surplus of £292,000, the co-op paid £54,000 of interest on the loan that built Harrow Down, which ends in 2031, and £113,000 of interest on members’ shares. The board then gave £84,000 to the Tidewell Fund and £5,000 went in corporation tax, leaving £36,000 to add to reserves. ## Cash and reserves At the end of the year the co-op held £612,000 in cash, of which £400,000 is set aside for the gearbox overhauls due in 2027 and 2028. Members’ share capital stood at £3.24 million: the 188 new members bought £94,000 of shares and the 31 who left withdrew £64,000.`; // content.<lang>.md, inlined by the Cookbook // #region art: the cover's ribbons and the charts, drawn from DATA with the page's palette const MONTHS = ['J', 'F', 'M', 'A', 'M', 'J', 'J', 'A', 'S', 'O', 'N', 'D']; const n2 = (v) => +v.toFixed(2); // An SVG drawn as an image cannot see the page's web fonts (gotcha: svg-no-webfonts), so each // drawing carries its face inline, as a data URL of the Fontsource file. async function inlineFace(family, weight) { const id = family.toLowerCase().replace(/\s+/g, '-'); const url = `https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@fontsource/${id}@5/files/${id}-latin-${weight}` + '-normal.woff2'; const bytes = new Uint8Array(await (await fetch(url)).arrayBuffer()); let bin = ''; for (const b of bytes) bin += String.fromCharCode(b); return `<style>@font-face{font-family:F;src:url(data:font/woff2;base64,${btoa(bin)}) ` + `format('woff2')}text{font-family:F}</style>`; } // A smooth path through points (Catmull–Rom turned into cubic Béziers). function smooth(pts) { let d = `M${n2(pts[0][0])} ${n2(pts[0][1])}`; for (let i = 0; i < pts.length - 1; i++) { const [p0, p1, p2, p3] = [pts[i - 1] ??

Error frecuente
avoidWidows vigila el pie de la columna, y avoidOrphans, su cabeza
Postext da nombre propio a las dos líneas solas: avoidWidows (widowMinLines, widowPenalty) evita que la primera línea de un párrafo quede sola al pie de una columna, y avoidOrphans (orphanMinLines, orphanPenalty), que la última quede sola en la cabeza de la siguiente. Muchos manuales de estilo usan los dos nombres al revés, así que elige el ajuste por el lugar donde actúa. Los dos vienen activados y funcionan como penalizaciones: la composición compara cada una con las líneas vacías que dejaría respetarla. Viudas, huérfanas y líneas cortas →
Error frecuente
El texto dentro de un SVG <img> no puede usar fuentes web
Un SVG se dibuja como imagen, y una imagen no tiene acceso a las fuentes web de la página, así que sus rótulos salen con una fuente del sistema. Convierte el texto en trazados, incrusta un subconjunto @font-face en el SVG o lleva los rótulos al pie. Figuras y tablas como recursos →
Error frecuente
Una paleta cambiada no llega a los elementos de diseño ni al color de las remisiones
postext 1.4.1 aplica colorPalette a los estilos de texto (cuerpo, títulos, listas, pies, tablas, recuadros), pero no a los elementos de cabeceras, pies de página, aperturas y portadillas, ni a bodyText.referenceColor: conservan el hex escrito junto a su paletteId. Si cambias la paleta, para una edición de pantalla oscura o para recolorear, reescribe cada color enlazado a partir de colorPalette antes de componer. Paleta de color semántica →
Error frecuente
El lineHeight de un texto de diseño es un múltiplo, nunca una medida
En una ranura de diseño, el lineHeight de un elemento de texto multiplica su cuerpo (lineHeight: 1.05). En postext 1.4.1 una medida como pt(15) no da error: la altura de la apertura sale NaN, el espacio que reserva, minHeight incluido, se pierde sin aviso y el texto se superpone al título. Textos, filetes y cajas en los diseños de página →
Error frecuente
Cualquier objeto headings desactiva el salto de página del H1
Por defecto un H1 salta a una página impar (always-odd), pero cualquier objeto headings anula ese valor, así que los capítulos van seguidos y span: 'page' no hace nada. Vuelve a declarar headings.levels[0].breakBefore: { enabled: true, parity } en cada configuración. Capítulos que abren en página impar →
Error frecuente
Carga todas las fuentes antes de componer
La composición mide el texto con las fuentes que el navegador ha cargado y guarda los anchos, así que una fuente que llega después de la primera composición deja cortes de línea erróneos y un PDF que ya no coincide con la pantalla. Carga antes todos los pesos y estilos, y llama a clearMeasurementCache() antes de recomponer si alguna llega tarde. Fuentes antes de componer →
- Si las columnas de la página de cierre difieren en una sola línea, se quedan así, con la izquierda una línea más larga, como las dejaría un cajista; el corte de cierre solo actúa con dos líneas de diferencia o más. Para que acaben juntas, alarga o acorta el texto en una línea.
- Postext 1.4.1 quita los espacios del final de cada celda de tabla, también el de no separación. Para alinear las cifras positivas con los costes entre paréntesis, la receta cierra cada cifra positiva con un espacio de no separación y un carácter de unión (U+2060, word joiner).
