## Lo que vas a componer

Portada y página 2 de *The Elverdale Courier*, un semanario comarcal inventado, en páginas de 246 × 328 mm. La mancheta gótica va entre dos orejas, el tiempo y el precio, sobre dos filetes y la línea de fecha. La noticia principal arranca con un titular a dos líneas en Libre Franklin Black de 56 pt sobre las dos columnas, un subtítulo en cursiva y una foto en banda de 222 mm, y sigue en dos columnas justificadas con filete. Al pie, cuatro breves comparten una franja de fondo beis, uno por columna, cada uno encabezado por un chip rojo. La página 2 abre con un rótulo de sección rojo y lleva la noticia del puente con un dibujo hecho en código, el tiempo en cabeza de la columna derecha, un segundo titular a todo el ancho, las cartas y una tabla de votos con una barra en cada fila.

**Esta receta responde a:**

- ¿Puedo componer una página de periódico a más de dos columnas, o hacer que el texto rodee la foto?
- ¿Cómo pongo un recuadro que cruce las dos columnas a media página, como un panel de cifras en tres bloques?
- ¿Cómo decido dónde va una figura: en la cabeza de la página, a lo ancho de las dos columnas, justo aquí o al margen?
- ¿Cómo pongo el título de capítulo a todo el ancho mientras el texto sigue a dos columnas debajo?

## La respuesta corta

```js
// script.js, líneas 83–100
const layout = { layoutType: 'double', gutterWidth: mm(GUTTER), // the most a body can have
  columnRule: { enabled: true, color: col('rule'), lineWidth: pt(0.5) } };
// Three or more columns live only inside a box: a :::columns group in a :::callout. Its fence
// spans the page and floats the box to the foot, so the story fills the columns above it:
//   :::callout{type="briefs" span="page" placement="bottom" title="In brief"}
//   :::columns{count=4 breaks="2,3,4"}   ← each brief opens a column (child 2, 3 and 4)
//   …four paragraphs…
//   :::
//   :::                                  (gotcha: callout-columns)
// The style could carry span and placement too; on the fence they stay in sight in the text.
// hook-up: config() takes layout as it is and lists briefs in calloutStyles.
const briefs = { id: 'briefs',
  background: col('tint'), // one device: a tint, no stripe or border
  padding: { top: mm(3), right: mm(4), bottom: mm(4), left: mm(4) },
  columnGap: mm(GUTTER), // the inner columns keep the page's gutter
  titleStyle: { ...caps(9, 800, 'flag'), gap: mm(2) },
  body: { fontFamily: 'PT Serif', fontSize: pt(8.6), lineHeight: pt(11.4), textAlign: 'left',
    firstLineIndent: pt(0) } }; // ragged and unindented, unlike the columns
```

## Ingredientes

**Enseña**

- [Recuadros a todo el ancho](https://postext.dev/es/docs/configuration.md#el-contenedor-callout): Un recuadro que cruza todas las columnas a media página; las columnas de encima acaban a la misma altura y continúan debajo.
- [Columnas dentro de un recuadro](https://postext.dev/es/docs/document-format.md#columns): Dos o más columnas equilibradas dentro de un recuadro, como un texto junto a una figura o un panel de tres.
- [Recuadros flotantes](https://postext.dev/es/docs/configuration.md#el-contenedor-callout): Un recuadro que sale del flujo hacia la cabeza o el pie de una página mientras el texto sigue llenando la página que dejó.

## Elaboración

### 1 · Papel de periódico, tinta y un rojo

```js
// script.js, líneas 14–27
const palette = {
  ink: '#111315', // text and the heavy rules: a cold near-black
  paper: '#f8f5ee', // newsprint, and type reversed out of ink or red
  flag: '#a6192e', // the one accent: section flags, kickers, the Yes bars
  tint: '#ebe6db', // the In brief strip
  rule: '#9a978f', // hairlines: the column rule, table rules
  muted: '#5d5a55', // bylines, the folio line's title and date, credit notes, the imprint
};
// The hex rides along: 1.4.1 designs read it, not the link (gotcha: palette-skips-designs).
const col = (id) => ({ hex: palette[id], model: 'hex', paletteId: id });
const colorPalette = [ // defaults link to 'main-color': point it at the ink, never blue
  ...Object.entries(palette).map(([id, hex]) => ({ id, name: id, value: { hex, model: 'hex' } })),
  { id: 'main-color', name: 'ink (defaults)', value: { hex: palette.ink, model: 'hex' } },
];
```

El papel es un blanco roto cálido (#f8f5ee) y la letra, un negro frío (#111315). El único rojo, #a6192e, va en los rótulos de sección, los antetítulos, los chips y las barras del sí. Cada color lleva su `paletteId` y su hexadecimal, porque la 1.4.1 pinta los elementos de diseño con el hexadecimal. `main-color` apunta a la tinta, de modo que las cursivas y todo lo que la configuración deja por defecto sale en negro. `bodyText.boldColor` también se fija en la tinta: de él toman su color las remisiones y la negrita de los recuadros, y la paleta no llega a ninguna de las dos. Sin él, las dos remisiones de la página 2 y las primeras palabras en negrita de los breves salen en el azul por defecto, #295AA3.

### 2 · La mancheta es el H1 de la portada

```js
// script.js, líneas 51–79
const NAME = 52; // pt: the blackletter nameplate
const EAR = 31; // mm: each ear, in the room the nameplate leaves at either side
const EAR_DROP = 1.8; // mm: measured so the ears' big figures sit on the nameplate's baseline
const AIR = 2; // mm between the lower rule and the masthead's foot, where the banner box starts
const ear = (side, lines) => lines.map(([id, content, look], i) => text(id, content,
  { ...look, align: side }, { ...(i === 0 ? at('container', `top-${side}`, 0, EAR_DROP)
    : at(`#${lines[i - 1][0]}`, 'below', 0, 1)), size: { width: mm(EAR) } }));
const serif = { fontFamily: 'PT Serif', fontSize: pt(9), italic: true, color: col('ink'),
  lineHeight: 1.25 }; // a multiple of the size (gotcha: design-lineheight-multiple)
const nameplate = { enabled: true, slot: { elements: [
  depth(7), // the masthead is seven grid lines deep; the rules and dateline hang from its foot
  { kind: 'rule', id: 'foot', thickness: pt(0.5), color: col('ink'),
    placement: { ...at('#depth', 'align-bottom', 0, -AIR), size: { width: 'fill' } } },
  ...[['left', '{attr.issue}'], ['center', '{publishDate}'], ['right', '{attr.area}']].map(
    ([align, content]) => text(`date-${align}`, content, { ...caps(7.5, 600), align },
      { ...at('#foot', 'above', 0, -1.4), size: { width: 'fill' } })),
  rule('thin', '#date-left', 0.5, 1.6), rule('heavy', '#thin', 2.5, 0.6), // the Oxford rule
  text('name', '{titleText}', { fontFamily: 'Grenze Gotisch', fontSize: pt(NAME),
    fontWeight: 700, lineHeight: 1, align: 'center' },
  { ...at('#heavy', 'above', 0, -1.2), size: { width: 'fill' } }), // centred between the ears
  ...ear('left', [['w-kicker', 'Weather', caps(7, 700, 'flag')],
    ['w-outlook', '{attr.outlook}', serif], ['w-temps', '{attr.temps}', franklin(15, 800)]]),
  ...ear('right', [['p-kicker', '{attr.since}', caps(7, 700, 'flag')],
    ['p-day', '{attr.day}', serif], ['p-price', '{attr.price}', franklin(15, 800)]]),
] } };
// hook-up: headingStyles gets { id: 'front', advancedDesign: nameplate, header: { elements:
// [] } }, H1 already spans the page, and the Markdown opens with
// # The Elverdale Courier {style="front" issue="…" area="…" outlook="…" temps="…" since="…"
//   day="…" price="…"}
```

`# The Elverdale Courier` lleva el estilo de título `front`, que compone la mancheta con el texto del título y siete de sus atributos (`issue`, `area`, `outlook`, `temps`, `since`, `day` y `price`); la fecha sale del `publishDate` del frontmatter. Una caja vacía de siete líneas exactas de la rejilla (31,1 mm) fija la altura de la apertura. Los filetes, la línea de fecha y el nombre cuelgan de su pie, y así la apertura termina justo en una línea de la rejilla. Con una caja de 6,6 líneas, en la 1.4.1 el filete de columna atraviesa el nombre y la línea de fecha.

### 3 · Un titular sobre las dos columnas es un recuadro

```js
// script.js, líneas 104–117
// :::callout{type="banner" span="page" title="Transport"} ← an optional kicker, then the H2
const banner = { id: 'banner', backgroundEnabled: false,
  padding: { top: pt(0), right: pt(0), bottom: pt(0), left: pt(0) },
  titleStyle: { ...caps(8, 800, 'flag'), gap: mm(1.2) }, // a kicker, when the fence has a title
  marginTop: pt(0), // flush under the nameplate or the section flag
  marginBottom: pt(LEAD / 2), // half a line, then the columns start on the next grid line
  body: { fontFamily: 'PT Serif', fontSize: pt(13), lineHeight: pt(16.5), textAlign: 'left' } };
// A story that starts mid-page: the same box under a rule. The columns above it are cut level.
const story = { ...banner, id: 'story', marginTop: pt(LEAD),
  stripe: { enabled: true, side: 'top', width: pt(1), color: col('ink') }, // its one device
  padding: { top: mm(2.5), right: pt(0), bottom: pt(0), left: pt(0) } };
// Inside the box the headline is an H2 in a heading style: one size for each rank of story.
const headline = (id, size, look = {}) => ({ id, fontSize: pt(size), lineHeight: pt(size * 1.02),
  marginBottom: pt(size * 0.2), ...look }); // tight leading, a fifth of it below
```

Un título solo ocupa las dos columnas como apertura, y una apertura empieza página. Si pones `span: 'page'` en el H2 de la noticia de los barrios en lugar de en su recuadro, esa noticia se va a una tercera página. Un recuadro sin marco con `span="page"`, en cambio, puede empezar a media página. En la [página 2](https://postext.dev/cookbook/newspaper-front-page/en/p02.webp?v=12406580), las columnas quedan igualadas por encima de él y siguen debajo. Dentro van el H2, con uno de tres estilos de título (56, 30 o 22 pt), el subtítulo en cursiva y, en la portada, la foto. Su `marginBottom` de media línea hace que las columnas empiecen en la siguiente línea de la rejilla, 3,4 mm por debajo del subtítulo en la página 2. Con el margen por defecto quedan 7,8 mm y las cartas pasan a una tercera página.

### 4 · Más de dos columnas caben en un recuadro

El código de este paso es [la respuesta corta](#la-respuesta-corta) de arriba. El texto de una página admite como mucho dos columnas ([Tipos de disposición](/es/docs/configuration#tipos-de-disposición)), por lo que las cuatro o cinco columnas de un periódico tienen que ir en un recuadro, aquí uno a todo el ancho con un grupo [`:::columns`](/es/docs/document-format#columns) dentro. `breaks` cuenta los bloques del grupo, uno por breve, así que los breves 2, 3 y 4 abren las columnas 2, 3 y 4. Cada columna mide 49 mm, con el medianil de 6 mm de la página entre una y otra.

```markdown
:::callout{type="briefs" span="page" placement="bottom" title="In brief"}
:::columns{count=4 breaks="2,3,4"}
:chip[TRANSPORT]{style="flag"} **Bus 44 back on Sundays.** The Elverdale to Kirkby bus …

:chip[SCHOOLS]{style="flag"} **An orchard for Brook Lane.** Pupils at Brook Lane …
…
:::
:::
```

`placement="bottom"` lleva el recuadro al pie de la [página 1](https://postext.dev/cookbook/newspaper-front-page/en/p01.webp?v=12406580), donde ocupa 36,9 mm, y la noticia llena los 83 mm de columna que quedan encima. La 1.4.1 tampoco hace que el texto rodee una imagen. Un flotante ocupa una banda entera de su columna o de la página; por eso la foto principal es una banda sobre las dos columnas dentro del recuadro del titular, y el dibujo del puente ocupa todo el ancho de la columna 1. Para poner texto junto a una imagen sirve el mismo tipo de recuadro: en `:::columns{count=2 breaks="2"}`, la línea `::resource` abre la primera columna y el texto, la segunda.

### 5 · Imágenes en línea, tablas flotantes

```js
// script.js, líneas 342–377
// A caption label prints only when captionPrefix has text: '' leaves no "Figure 1".
const unnumbered = (id, name, captionStyle) => ({ id, name, shortLabel: name, captionPrefix: '',
  numberingTemplate: '', resetOn: 'never', counterFormat: 'decimal', captionStyle });
const resourceTypes = [unnumbered('picture', 'Picture'), // captions under the picture
  unnumbered('panel', 'Panel', { position: 'above', fontSize: pt(9.5) })]; // tables: titled above
const resource = (id, typeId, kind, body, extra) => ({ id, typeId, kind, [kind]: body,
  createdAt: 0, updatedAt: 0, ...extra });
const resources = [
  // Set inline in the page-span banner box: a 'top' float never lands above the line that
  // cites it (gotcha: top-float-next-page). A :::space gives it air (gotcha: box-embed-no-gap).
  // 2400 px at 150 dpi is 406 mm: the photo shrinks to the box (gotcha: bitmap-print-size).
  resource('ridge', 'picture', 'bitmap', { fileId: 'ridge-2400.jpg', format: 'jpeg', width: 2400,
    height: 800 }, { placement: { position: 'here' },
    altText: 'Wind turbines on a snow-covered ridge under a bright, cloudy sky.',
    caption: '**File picture:** turbines on an upland ridge. Each of the three planned for '
      + 'Harrow Ridge would generate 2.3 megawatts.',
    note: 'Photograph: Jason Blackeye, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons' }),
  // Drawn in code (the art region) and set inline, where ::resource puts it in column 1.
  resource('bridge', 'picture', 'svg', { fileId: 'bridge.svg', width: 1190, height: 460 },
    { placement: { position: 'here' },
      altText: 'Drawing of a two-arch stone bridge between sloping river banks; under its '
        + 'central pier, a red concrete footing.',
      caption: '**The rebuilt pier.** Its new concrete footing (red) goes six metres below the '
        + 'riverbed. Both arches were relaid with their own stones.',
      note: 'Drawing: The Courier' }),
  // A page-span 'bottom' float sits under both columns of the page that cites it. On the last
  // page it follows the balanced columns, so the copy there is fitted to bring it to the foot.
  resource('wards', 'panel', 'table', { styleId: 'results', model: resultsTable() },
    { placement: { position: 'bottom', span: 'page' }, caption: '**How the wards voted**',
      note: 'Red: yes. Grey: no. The black line marks half the vote. '
        + 'Source: Elverdale Town Council.' }),
  // A column 'top' float waits for the head of the next column with room.
  resource('forecast', 'panel', 'table', { styleId: 'forecast', model: forecastTable() },
    { placement: { position: 'top', span: 'column' }, caption: '**The next five days**',
      note: 'Sunrise 6.57, sunset 19.03 on Thursday. Forecast: Wend Valley Weather Station.' }),
];
```

La foto va en línea dentro del recuadro del titular porque un flotante `top` a todo el ancho nunca cae por encima de la línea que lo cita; como flotante, abriría la página 2 (véase Errores frecuentes). El dibujo del puente también va en línea, tras el párrafo sobre la pila. La previsión flota a la cabeza de una columna y cae en la de la derecha. La tabla de barrios flota bajo las dos columnas, donde se detiene el filete de columna. En la última página se coloca justo debajo de las columnas igualadas, y por eso el texto de encima está ajustado para que la tabla llegue al pie. Los dos tipos de recurso fijan `captionPrefix: ''`, y la 1.4.1 solo imprime la etiqueta del pie cuando el prefijo tiene texto, así que ningún pie empieza por «Figure 1».

### 6 · Una página interior abre con un rótulo de sección

```js
// script.js, líneas 121–139
const section = { enabled: true, slot: { elements: [
  depth(2), // two grid lines: the flag sits on a 3 pt bar, 1.6 mm above the foot
  { kind: 'rule', id: 'bar', thickness: pt(3), color: col('ink'),
    placement: { ...at('#depth', 'align-bottom', 0, -1.6), size: { width: 'fill' } } },
  text('flag', '{titleText}', { ...caps(11, 800, 'paper'), box: { backgroundColor: col('flag'),
    padding: { top: mm(1.3), right: mm(3), bottom: mm(1.1), left: mm(3) } } },
  at('#bar', 'above')),
] } };
const FOLIO = 6; // mm from the top edge to the folio line; its rule 4 mm lower
const folio = (parity, side, s) => [ // s: +1 on a verso (folio on the left), −1 on a recto
  text(`n-${parity}`, '{pageNumber}', { ...franklin(9, 800), align: side },
    at('page', `top-${side}`, s * MARGIN.side, FOLIO)),
  text(`t-${parity}`, '{title} · {publishDate}', { ...caps(7, 600, 'muted'), align: side },
    at(`#n-${parity}`, s > 0 ? 'right-of' : 'left-of', s * 3, 0.9)),
].map((element) => ({ ...element, parity }));
const header = { elements: [...folio('even', 'left', 1), ...folio('odd', 'right', -1),
  { kind: 'rule', id: 'folio-rule', thickness: pt(0.5), color: col('ink'),
    placement: { ...at('page', 'top-left', MARGIN.side, FOLIO + 4), size: { width: mm(TRIM.width
      - 2 * MARGIN.side) } } }] };
```

`# Town & Valley` es un H1 cuyo `breakBefore` lleva la paridad `'any'`, así que la sección abre la página 2 sin una página en blanco delante. Su diseño es un rótulo rojo sobre una barra de 3 pt, colgado de una caja vacía de dos líneas de la rejilla. La línea de folio es una cabecera anclada a 6 mm del borde superior de la página, con una versión para las pares y otra para las impares. El estilo de la portada vacía la cabecera, de modo que sobre la mancheta no se imprime línea de folio.

Elverdale will build a wind farm of its own. In the first town-wide poll since the 1974 vote to save the Corn Exchange, 3,904 residents backed plans for three turbines on Harrow Ridge, and 2,393 voted against.
:::

The count at the Corn Exchange finished shortly before midnight on Tuesday. Turnout was 71%, the highest the town clerk, Anjali Rees, can remember at any election. “People queued in the rain outside St Oswald’s,” she said. “We ran out of pencils at eleven.” The last ballot box, from Harrow, came in at twenty to ten.

The scheme belongs to Wend Valley Energy, a cooperative that residents formed in 2023 so that the wind on the ridge would pay the valley rather than a distant landlord. Its three turbines of 2.3 megawatts each would supply about 6,500 homes in an average year, far more than the 4,700 in the parish.

### Who pays and who gains

The cooperative must now raise £9.8 million. A share offer opens next Thursday, with a minimum stake of £50. It hopes to find £2.4 million in the valley and to borrow the rest from a community energy lender. Members would earn up to 4% a year, and £120,000 a year would go to a town fund, spent by a panel that residents elect.

“Two thousand households putting in £1,200 each would do it,” said Tom Ashby, who chairs the cooperative and farms at Low Harrow. “We had 312 pledges by Wednesday lunchtime.”

### Objectors turn to the planners

The Harrow Ridge Action Group, which campaigned against the scheme, says the turbines, 125 metres to the tip of the blade, will dominate the view from the Wend Way and disturb the curlews that nest on the moor.

“A poll is not a planning permission,” said its secretary, Clare Whitlock. “We will make our case to the district council, and we expect to be heard.”

The planning application is due in the spring, after a year of bird and wind surveys. If it succeeds, work could start in 2028, and the turbines would be turning by the autumn of 2029. The cooperative’s 640 founding members have paid £180,000 for the surveys.

## Old Mill Bridge reopens after 14 months {style="wide"}

*Cars, buses and the Saturday market cross the Wend again. Lorries must wait for a load test next spring*
:::

:::paragraphs{style="byline"}
By **Owen Pryce**
:::

:::paragraphs{style="flush"}
The Old Mill Bridge reopened to traffic at seven o’clock on Monday morning, fourteen months after the flood of July 2025 scoured out the footing of its central pier and cracked both of its arches.
:::

The repair cost £1.9 million, most of it from the county council’s flood recovery fund. Engineers rebuilt the pier on a new concrete footing sunk six metres into the riverbed, and relaid the arches with 3,100 of their own stones, each one numbered as it came down and set back in the same place.

::resource{id="bridge"}

It reopened five days before the first storm of the autumn. Heavy rain is forecast for Saturday :ref{id="forecast" text="(Weather, right)"}, and the county’s engineers will be on the bridge to watch the river rise.

The first vehicle across was Keith Barlow’s dairy van, which has spent more than a year on the eleven-mile detour through Kirkby. “Forty minutes each way, six days a week,” he said. “I’d rather not add it up.”

The bridge is open to cars, vans and buses, and closed to goods vehicles over 7.5 tonnes. The county says heavy traffic had weakened the old structure long before the flood, and it will not let lorries back until the new pier has passed a load test next spring.

That has disappointed some traders. “It’s half a bridge for us,” said Priya Chandra, who runs the builders’ merchant on Mill Lane. “Our timber still comes round by Kirkby, eleven miles each way.”

For the market, it came just in time. Stallholders from the south bank have carried their stock over the footbridge for a year, and Saturday’s market will be the first in more than a year with every pitch taken.

:::callout{type="story" span="page" title="The wind farm vote"}
## Harrow was the one ward to say no {style="second"}
:::

:::paragraphs{style="flush"}
Every ward but one voted for the wind farm in Tuesday’s poll. Market gave it the biggest majority, with 69% voting yes, and Brook Lane the smallest, 736 votes to 591 :ref{id="wards" text="(Results, below)"}.
:::

Harrow, the ward beneath the ridge, voted against by 511 votes to 469, on a turnout of 76%, the highest of the five wards. “Most of the people who voted no can see the ridge from their front doors,” said its councillor, Ruth Okafor, who has asked the cooperative to meet Harrow residents before the application goes in. The first meeting is on 8 October.

Tom Ashby, the cooperative’s chair, said it had expected Harrow to be the hardest ward to win. He has offered to move the nearest turbine 200 metres further from the village, which would cost about 4% of its output, and will put both sites to Harrow residents at the October meeting.

The poll does not bind the district council, which expects to decide the planning application in the summer of 2027. Anyone may comment on it for 21 days after it is published.

## Letters

**Tea at the count.** I was one of 22 volunteers who sorted 6,297 ballots in the Corn Exchange on Tuesday night. When the urn ran dry at ten, the cricket club lent us theirs, and we finished at a quarter to twelve. Thank you to the Rotary Club for the sandwiches, and to whoever left a tin of flapjacks on the returning officer’s table.

:::paragraphs{style="sign"}
*Margaret Oyelaran, Brook Lane*

:::paragraphs{style="flush"}
**The view belongs to all of us.** Those of us who walk the Wend Way every week were outvoted by people who have never climbed the ridge. I counted eleven pairs of curlews up there in May. I hope the district council will remember that the moor is not the town’s to sell, whatever the count says.

## Errores frecuentes

- **:::columns solo funciona dentro de un recuadro y no se parte.** :::columns se ignora fuera de un recuadro, y un recuadro que se parte nunca corta dentro de un grupo de columnas. El atributo breaks cuenta bloques hijos, y un recuadro anidado cuenta como uno.
- **El filete de columna puede atravesar una apertura a todo el ancho.** En postext 1.4.1 el filete de columna de una banda empieza en lo alto de su columna más alta. Un título a todo el ancho se queda en la primera columna, así que, si su apertura no termina justo en una línea de la rejilla base, el resquicio de segunda columna que queda a su lado hace que el filete arranque en lo alto de la caja de texto y cruce la apertura. Dale a la apertura una altura de líneas de rejilla enteras, con una caja vacía de esa altura o con minHeight si el diseño es más bajo: así termina en una línea de la rejilla y no deja resquicio.
- **Una tabla o una figura dentro de un recuadro no lleva aire alrededor.** En postext 1.4.1, una tabla o una figura que ::resource coloca con la posición 'here' dentro de un :::callout no recibe nada del aire que conserva en el texto corrido: toca el párrafo de encima y el de debajo. Pon un :::space antes de la línea ::resource, y otro después si sigue texto; una fracción de línea, como lines=0.33, deja un espacio pequeño.
- **Un flotante 'top' nunca cae en la página que lo cita.** Un flotante nunca va por encima de su propia referencia, así que un flotante 'top' a todo el ancho citado en la página N abre la página N+1. Cítalo antes, o usa la posición 'auto' o 'bottom', que pueden ocupar el pie de la página que lo cita.
- **Los mapas de bits se miden en píxeles a la resolución del documento: declara el tamaño de impresión.** Un recurso de mapa de bits toma su tamaño del ancho y el alto que declara, en píxeles a la resolución del documento, no del archivo. Declara los píxeles del tamaño de impresión (unos 300 ppp al ancho impreso) para que la figura salga a su tamaño y nítida.
- **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.
- **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.
- **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.
- **El desbordamiento del texto de diseño es 'ellipsis-end' por defecto.** Un elemento de texto de diseño que no cabe en su ancho termina en puntos suspensivos por defecto. Pon overflow: 'wrap' en los títulos que deban pasar a más líneas.
- **El arreglo de las líneas cortas puede apretar un interletraje que nunca se pinta.** En postext 1.4.1, cuando un párrafo acaba en una línea corta, el motor lo compone con una línea menos: primero aprieta el espacio entre palabras y luego aplica hasta maxRuntTracking milésimas de em de interletraje negativo. Los renderizadores de canvas y PDF solo pintan el interletraje mayor que cero, así que el párrafo se imprime sin él: sus líneas justificadas pierden esa diferencia en los espacios entre palabras, que salen aplastados, y su última línea puede pasarse de la medida y quedar cortada en el borde de la columna. Pon bodyText.maxRuntTracking: 0, que conserva el arreglo por el espacio entre palabras, y reescribe los párrafos que vuelvan a acabar en una línea corta.
- **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.

- Si le das a la foto `placement: { position: 'top', span: 'page' }`, sale de la página 1 y queda sola en la página 2. La noticia de la portada termina entonces 92 mm por encima de la franja de breves, y la sección pasa a la página 3.
