In breve
Pagine d’apertura di capitolo per un manuale di geologia. Una fascia colorata con un grande numero di capitolo esce dal bordo superiore della pagina, e il design si imposta una volta per tutti i capitoli.
Che cosa comporrai
Le aperture di capitolo di Earth in Motion, un manuale introduttivo di geologia su una pagina di 210 × 280 mm. Il capitolo 3 si apre sotto una fascia terracotta che esce al vivo dalla testa della pagina. La fascia porta un occhiello spaziato, il titolo spezzato dove ha scelto l’autore, un sommario in corsivo e un numero di capitolo da 168 pt che poggia sul piede scuro della fascia, dal lato del margine esterno. Due colonne giustificate cominciano sotto la fascia, e la sezione di una placca che sprofonda occupa il piede della pagina. Il capitolo 4 ripete il design in verde acqua, fino all’unghiatura, ai numeri delle sezioni, ai rimandi e all’etichetta della sua figura. Il design si imposta una volta, sul titolo di livello 1. La riga del titolo di ogni capitolo fornisce come attributi l’argomento dell’occhiello e il sommario, e nomina uno stile quando il capitolo prende un altro colore.
Questa ricetta risponde a
- Come creo un’apertura di capitolo con una fascia di colore al vivo, un grande numero di capitolo e il titolo?
- Come compongo il titolo di un capitolo a tutta larghezza mentre il testo scorre sotto su due colonne?
- Come aggiungo a un’apertura una riga d’autore, un sommario o un attacco con capolettera?
- Come do a ogni capitolo una foto, un colore o una variante di apertura propri?
- Come numero i titoli (1, 1.1, 1.1.1) e do a ogni livello uno stile diverso?
La risposta breve
const TOP = 24; // top margin, mm: the opener's container starts here
const OUTER = 16; // outer margin, mm: the numeral and the folios line up on it
const BLEED = 0; // mm: 0 on screen; about 3 for print, which also switches on page.cutLines
const BAND = 100; // mm from the trim to the foot of the band
const NUMERAL = 168; // pt; the baseline of a design text sits 0.8 down its line box
const PT = 25.4 / 72; // mm in a point
const AIR = 12; // mm, foot to text: ≥ 0.2 × NUMERAL × PT ≈ 11.9, the numeral box below its baseline
const BEARING = 2; // mm past the text edge: a rough optical nudge, as each digit's bearing differs
const bleedTop = { to: 'bleed', edge: 'top-left' }; // the trim's corner, pushed out by BLEED
// Design text centres by default; in a heading design it wraps by default too.
const onBand = { color: col('paper'), align: 'left' };
const below = (id, y, width) => ({ anchor: { to: `#${id}`, edge: 'below' }, offset: { y: mm(y) },
size: { width: mm(width) } }); // chained: a longer title pushes the standfirst down
const opener = { enabled: true,
// The text starts below the lowest element or minHeight (gotcha: opener-reserves-anchored).
minHeight: mm(BAND - TOP + AIR), // clears the numeral, so the text starts AIR below the foot
slot: {
elements: [ // array order is paint order: the band first, the type on top
{ kind: 'box', id: 'band', style: { backgroundColor: col('band') }, placement: {
anchor: bleedTop, size: { height: mm(BLEED + BAND) } } }, // no width: runs to the far edge

Preparazione
#1 · Appendi la fascia e il numero alla pagina
Il codice è la risposta breve qui sopra. La fascia e il suo piede pendono dall’angolo superiore sinistro dell’abbondanza. Come ogni riquadro o filetto senza larghezza, si estendono fino al bordo opposto di quella cornice, quindi arrivano al formato rifilato, e all’abbondanza una volta impostato BLEED. Il numero pende dall’angolo superiore destro della pagina: y: BAND - 0.8 * NUMERAL * PT mette la sua linea di base sul piede, e BEARING sposta il suo riquadro di 2 mm verso il margine per compensare lo spazio laterale della cifra, così l’inchiostro si allinea più o meno con il bordo del testo. L’occhiello pende dal contenitore. Il titolo pende sotto l’occhiello e il sommario sotto il titolo, tramite ancoraggi below, e il design di un titolo va a capo per impostazione predefinita, quindi un titolo più lungo spinge in basso il sommario. Il sommario è un elemento di testo riempito dall’attributo lead del titolo; una riga d’autore sarebbe un elemento in più, {attr.author}, concatenato allo stesso modo. minHeight: BAND - TOP + AIR stabilisce dove comincia il testo. Il riquadro del numero arriva a 0,2 volte il suo corpo (11,9 mm) sotto il piede, e un’apertura riserva spazio fino al suo elemento più basso, quindi AIR deve essere almeno 11,9 mm; con meno, sarebbe il riquadro del numero a stabilire dove comincia il testo.
#2 · Dai la pagina al titolo del capitolo
headings: {
fontFamily: 'Archivo', color: col('band'),
levels: [
// parity: 'odd' keeps openers on rectos, so the numeral's right-edge anchor is the
// fore-edge. The copy is fitted so no chapter spills a few lines onto a page of its own,
// which would leave that page and a blank verso before the next opener.
{ level: 1, span: 'page', breakBefore: { enabled: true, parity: 'odd' },
// 0: the hidden title's default 0.5 em would add a grid line, and AIR alone sets the gap
marginBottom: pt(0), advancedDesign: opener },
{ level: 2, fontSize: pt(11.5), lineHeight: pt(LEAD), numberingTemplate: '{1}.{2}',
marginTop: pt(LEAD), marginBottom: pt(0) }, // one grid line above, none below
],
},
span: 'page' apre ogni capitolo su una pagina nuova e compone il titolo di livello 1 su entrambe le colonne; advancedDesign disegna l’apertura al posto del testo del titolo, e il testo comincia sotto l’altezza riservata. breakBefore con parity: 'odd' mette ogni apertura su un recto, dove l’ancoraggio a destra del numero è il margine esterno. Al livello 2, numberingTemplate: '{1}.{2}' numera le sezioni 3.1, 3.2… nel colore della fascia; un livello 3 con '{1}.{2}.{3}' proseguirebbe con 3.1.1.
#3 · Dai un nome al colore del capitolo una volta sola
const palette = {
ink: '#1b1f23', // text: a cool near-black
band: '#c2562b', // the chapter colour: band, tab, section numbers, references, captions
band2: '#2e6f73', // the second chapter colour, a teal; the sea in Figure 3.1
land: '#d5cbc0', // the crust in the drawings
muted: '#6b6259', // running heads and the colophon
paper: '#ffffff', // type on the band
};
// col(id): a colour linked to its palette entry, with the entry's hex beside the link.
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' } })),
// The engine's defaults link to 'main-color': point it at the band, so nothing prints blue.
{ id: 'main-color', name: 'band (defaults)', value: { hex: palette.band, model: 'hex' } },
];
// {style="teal"} on a heading line swaps 'band' up to the next level-1 heading: the style's
// palette reaches design slots through their link and repaints every text colour equal to
// the base 'band'.
const headingStyles = [{ id: 'teal', palette: { band: palette.band2 } }];
Ogni colore della configurazione è collegato a una di queste voci. I valori predefiniti del motore sono collegati a main-color, quindi puntare quella voce al colore della fascia ricolora anche ogni valore predefinito che la configurazione lascia vuoto. La riga del titolo del capitolo 4, # Fire from \\ Below {style="teal" topic="Volcanoes" lead="…"}, sceglie lo stile, che sostituisce band fino al titolo di livello 1 successivo. Gli elementi di design seguono la sostituzione tramite il collegamento alla palette, e i colori del testo uguali alla band di base vengono ridipinti, così l’unghiatura, i numeri di sezione e degli elenchi, i rimandi, l’etichetta della didascalia e il folio in basso diventano verde acqua alle pagine 43 e 44. La stessa riga riempie {attr.topic} e {attr.lead}, e il suo \\ spezza {titleText} dove vuole l’autore (heading attributes, line breaks in titles).
#4 · Lascia che la prima citazione collochi ogni figura
const figure = (id, placement, caption) => ({ id, typeId: 'figure', kind: 'svg', createdAt: 0,
updatedAt: 0, svg: { fileId: `${id}.svg`, width: ART[id].width, height: ART[id].height },
placement, caption, altText: ALT[id] }); // altText: read aloud in a PDF or HTML edition
const resources = [
// 'auto' may take the citing page's foot, 'top' never can (gotcha: top-float-next-page)
figure('plate-cycle', { position: 'auto', span: 'page' },
t({ en: 'A plate’s life in cross-section: born at a ridge (left), it cools as it drifts away '
+ 'and sinks under a continent; dots mark earthquakes.',
es: 'La vida de una placa, en corte: nace en la dorsal (izquierda), se enfría al alejarse y '
+ 'se hunde bajo el continente; los puntos son terremotos.' })),
figure('two-volcanoes', { position: 'bottom', span: 'page' }, // under the text on a last page
t({ en: 'Two volcanoes in cross-section: a broad shield built of runny basalt flows (left) '
+ 'and a steep stratovolcano of lava and ash layers (right).',
es: 'Dos volcanes en corte: un escudo ancho, de coladas de basalto fluido (izquierda), y un '
+ 'estratovolcán de capas de lava y ceniza (derecha).' })),
];
Un :ref numera la sua figura e la colloca nel primo spazio libero dopo il paragrafo che la cita. La figura 3.1 è auto. È citata nell’apertura quando entrambe le colonne hanno ancora spazio, quindi prende il piede di quella pagina; come elemento flottante top avrebbe aperto la pagina 42, perché un elemento flottante non va mai sopra il proprio rimando. La figura 4.1 è citata in basso nella seconda colonna di pagina 43, dove una fascia a tutta larghezza non entra più, quindi bottom la manda a pagina 44. È l’ultima pagina del capitolo, e in un’ultima pagina il motore solleva gli elementi flottanti al piede fin subito sotto le ultime righe di testo, senza spazio sopra.
#5 · Testatine, un’unghiatura e un folio in basso
const HEAD = 15.5; // mm from the trim to the folio's and the head's baseline: 8.5 above TOP
const INSET = 9; // mm from the folio's edge to the head: room for a three-digit folio
const TAB = { y: 36, w: 9, h: 26 }; // the thumb tab, mm: its top, its width, its height
const tabSize = (w) => ({ width: mm(w), height: mm(TAB.h) });
const baseline = (size) => mm(HEAD - 0.96 * size * PT); // box: 1.2 × size, baseline 0.8 down
const label = { fontFamily: 'Archivo Narrow', fontSize: pt(7.5), fontWeight: 600,
letterSpacing: pt(1.3), textTransform: 'uppercase', color: col('muted') };
const folio = { fontFamily: 'Archivo', fontSize: pt(9), fontWeight: 800, color: col('ink') };
const side = (parity) => { // the fore-edge is a verso's left edge and a recto's right edge
const [edge, s] = parity === 'even' ? ['left', 1] : ['right', -1]; // s: into the page
const at = (to, x, y, size) => ({ anchor: { to, edge: `top-${edge}` },
offset: { x: mm(s * x), y }, ...(size && { size }) });
return [
{ kind: 'text', id: `folio-${parity}`, content: '{pageNumber}', ...folio,
placement: at('page', OUTER, baseline(9)) },
// Textbooks name the chapter on the verso and the section on the recto; there is no
// section placeholder, so the recto names the book.
{ kind: 'text', id: `head-${parity}`, content: s > 0 ? '{chapterTitle}' : '{title}',
...label, placement: at('page', OUTER + INSET, baseline(7.5)) },
{ kind: 'box', id: `tab-${parity}`, style: { backgroundColor: col('band') }, // off the trim
placement: at('bleed', 0, mm(BLEED + TAB.y), tabSize(BLEED + TAB.w)) },
{ kind: 'text', id: `tab-no-${parity}`, content: '{chapterNumber}', ...folio, fontSize: pt(13),
color: col('paper'), // design text centres by default: here, on the trimmed tab
placement: at('page', 0, mm(TAB.y), tabSize(TAB.w)) },
].map((element) => ({ ...element, parity, pages: 'body' })); // never on an opener
};
const header = { elements: [...side('even'), ...side('odd')] };
const footer = { elements: [{ kind: 'text', id: 'drop-folio', content: '{pageNumber}',
...folio, color: col('band'), pages: 'opener', // centred by its anchor
placement: { anchor: { to: 'container', edge: 'top' }, offset: { y: mm(10) } } }] };
Ogni elemento d’intestazione pende da un angolo superiore della pagina ed è filtrato da parity, quindi il folio e l’unghiatura stanno sempre sul margine esterno. Il riquadro dell’unghiatura pende invece dall’angolo dell’abbondanza e si allarga con BLEED, così resta al vivo anche dopo la rifilatura. pages: 'body' tiene tutti questi elementi lontani dalle aperture, che ricevono un folio in basso dal piè di pagina. Il verso nomina il capitolo con {chapterTitle}, su una riga, perché il \\ spezza il titolo solo nell’apertura. I manuali di solito nominano la sezione sul recto. Postext non ha un segnaposto per la sezione, quindi la testatina del recto stampa il {title} del libro; queste quattro pagine non la mostrano mai, perché entrambi i loro recto sono aperture.
#6 · Comincia il libro dal capitolo 3
const continuation = { pageNumbering: { startAt: 41 }, // an odd folio: page 1 is still a recto
headings: { h1: 2, h2: 0, h3: 0, h4: 0, h5: 0, h6: 0 } }; // the next # is chapter 3
const doc = await buildDocumentWithFonts({ markdown, resources, continuation }, config(),
kitFonts(FONTS));
showPages(doc, { title: t({ en: 'Chapter opener on a full-bleed band',
es: 'Apertura de capítulo sobre banda a sangre' }) });
Queste pagine sono i capitoli 3 e 4 di un libro più lungo, quindi buildDocument riceve una continuation con i contatori come li hanno lasciati i capitoli 1 e 2. Con h1: 2 nei suoi headings, il # successivo è il capitolo 3: {chapterNumber} stampa 3, le sezioni si numerano da 3.1 e la prima figura diventa 3.1. pageNumbering.startAt: 41 fa partire i folio da 41. La prima pagina resta un recto qualunque sia il suo folio, perché la parità si conta sulla pagina fisica e pageIndexOffset resta a 0; il primo folio, 41, è dispari di conseguenza.

title: "Earth in Motion" subtitle: "An Introduction to Geology" --- # The Restless \\ Crust {topic="Plate tectonics" lead="The ground under your feet is moving at about the speed your fingernails grow. This chapter follows the plates that carry the continents and the oceans, and the seams where they part, collide and grind past each other."} The Earth’s surface is a mosaic of rigid plates, some of them larger than a continent, that move slowly but without pause over the hotter rock beneath them. New sea floor forms along the ridges in the middle of the oceans and is destroyed where it sinks back into the mantle at the deep trenches (:ref{id="plate-cycle"}). The continents travel with the plates like luggage on a conveyor belt, and nearly every earthquake, volcano and mountain range on the planet lies where two plates meet. The idea took a long time to be accepted. In 1915 the German meteorologist Alfred Wegener noticed that the coasts on either side of the Atlantic fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw, and argued that the continents had once been joined in a single landmass. He pointed to fossils of the same land reptiles on both sides of the ocean, rock formations that matched across it and the scratches of ancient glaciers in what are now the tropics. What he could not find was a force strong enough to push a continent through solid rock, and for half a century most geologists rejected the idea. The answer came from the ocean floor, where surveys after the Second World War revealed long undersea mountain chains, and rocks that grow steadily older with distance from their crests. ## A planet in pieces The outer shell of the Earth, the lithosphere, is cold and rigid. It takes in the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, and it is about a hundred kilometres thick: much more under the old cores of the continents, much less under young oceans. Beneath it lies the asthenosphere, rock that is solid but hot enough to flow, very slowly, like warm wax. The lithosphere is broken into seven large plates and a dozen or so smaller ones, and each of them moves as a single slab over the softer layer below. Plates carry two kinds of crust. Oceanic crust is thin, about seven kilometres, and made of dark, dense basalt. Continental crust is 30 to 50 kilometres thick and made largely of lighter, granite-like rock. When plates meet, the denser ocean floor sinks into the mantle and the continent stays on top. That is why the oldest ocean floor anywhere is only about 180 million years old, while rocks on the continents reach back four billion years. Plates move between one and fifteen centimetres a year. At five centimetres a year a plate travels fifty kilometres in a million years, and the Atlantic has opened by several thousand kilometres since the age of the dinosaurs. ## Where plates meet Geologists recognise three kinds of plate boundary, named for the way the plates move against each other: 1. **Divergent boundaries**, where plates pull apart and magma rises to fill the gap. Most lie along the mid-ocean ridges; Iceland is a piece of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that stands above the sea. 2. **Convergent boundaries**, where plates collide. When ocean floor meets a continent, the denser plate slides beneath the other and sinks into the mantle, a process called *subduction*. When two continents meet, neither sinks, and the crust crumples into ranges such as the Himalaya. 3. **Transform boundaries**, where plates slide past each other sideways: they lock, strain and then slip again. The San Andreas Fault in California is the best-known example on land. Each kind has its own pattern of earthquakes and volcanoes. Where plates part, the earthquakes are shallow and the eruptions quiet, pouring out runny basalt. Where they collide, they cause the most powerful earthquakes on Earth, open deep trenches and raise chains of explosive volcanoes. Where they slide past each other, earthquakes are frequent but volcanoes are almost absent, because crust is neither made nor destroyed there. ## Reading the evidence The clearest evidence for plate tectonics comes from the magnetism of the sea floor. As basalt cools at a ridge, tiny crystals of magnetite line up with the Earth’s magnetic field, like compass needles frozen in place. The field reverses its direction every few hundred thousand years on average, so the sea floor records the reversals as stripes of normal and reversed magnetism. In 1963 Fred Vine and Drummond Matthews explained the stripes, and by 1966 surveys had shown that those on either side of a ridge are mirror images of each other, which is what you would expect if new floor forms at the crest and moves away in both directions. The earthquake record agrees. On a map, earthquakes fall in narrow belts along the plate boundaries. Beneath the trenches they fall on an inclined plane that dips under the neighbouring plate to depths of 700 kilometres, marking the path of the sinking slab. Chains of volcanic islands add a third line of evidence. The Hawaiian Islands grew over a hot spot, a plume of unusually hot rock rising from deep in the mantle that stays put while the plate slides over it. Each volcano is carried away from the plume in turn and dies, and a new one grows in its place. The volcanoes line up like a trail of footprints: the Big Island still erupts, Kauai is about five million years old, and the drowned volcanoes beyond Midway are older still. The direction and the spacing of the chain record where the Pacific Plate has gone, and how fast. Today the motion can be measured directly. GPS receivers bolted to bedrock on every continent fix their own positions to within a millimetre or two, and they show Hawaii creeping north-west towards Japan and Australia moving so fast, about seven centimetres a year, that the country has to revise its official coordinates every few decades. Wegener thought that the continents ploughed through the rock of the ocean floor. In fact they ride on the plates, and the plates are driven by the slow escape of heat from the Earth’s interior. The next chapter turns to the places where that heat reaches the surface. # Fire from \\ Below {style="teal" topic="Volcanoes" lead="Volcanoes are where the heat of the Earth’s interior reaches the surface. This chapter asks why solid rock melts, why some magma pours out quietly while some explodes, and how the shape of a mountain records the way it erupts."} About 1,350 volcanoes on land are considered potentially active, meaning that they have erupted in the last 10,000 years, and many more lie hidden on the sea floor. Three quarters of the active ones stand around the rim of the Pacific Ocean, the so-called Ring of Fire, above the subduction zones described in the previous chapter (:ref{id="plate-cycle"}). Most of the others line the mid-ocean ridges or sit over isolated hot spots such as Hawaii. Every volcano is a pile of its own eruptions. Each one adds a layer of lava or ash to the slopes, so the shape of the mountain records how it has erupted over thousands of years. Its eruptions, in turn, depend on where and how its magma formed. ## Where magma comes from The mantle is almost entirely solid. It melts only when something upsets the balance between temperature and pressure, and there are three ways that happens. At ridges and hot spots, hot rock rises and the pressure on it falls; lower pressure lowers the melting point, so some of the rock melts without getting any hotter. This is *decompression melting*. At subduction zones, the sinking slab releases water into the hot mantle above it, and water, like salt on an icy road, lowers the melting point. This is *flux melting*, and it feeds the volcanoes of the Andes, Japan and the Cascades. Finally, a body of hot magma can melt the crust around it, adding to its own volume and changing its chemistry. Molten rock is lighter than the rock around it, so it rises and collects in magma chambers a few kilometres below the surface. There it may cool slowly into granite or gabbro and never erupt at all, or it may find a way out through the central conduit or through a crack in the side of the mountain. ## Quiet and violent eruptions Whether an eruption oozes or explodes depends mostly on two things: how much silica the magma holds and how much gas is dissolved in it. Silica makes magma thick. Basalt, about half silica by weight, is runny, and its gas escapes easily; its eruptions send out rivers of lava, as on Hawaii and Iceland, and build broad, gently sloping shield volcanoes. Magmas richer in silica, such as andesite and rhyolite, are so stiff that the gas cannot get out. Pressure builds until the magma shatters into ash and pumice, and the volcano blows apart. The cone volcanoes of subduction zones, called *stratovolcanoes*, record both kinds of behaviour. They are built of alternating layers of lava and ash, each layer an eruption, which is why their slopes are steep and their outlines so regular (:ref{id="two-volcanoes"}). Mount Fuji is one. Mount St Helens had the same outline until 18 May 1980, when the north side of the mountain collapsed in a landslide and the sudden release of pressure drove a sideways blast across 600 square kilometres of forest. The largest explosive eruptions reach far beyond their own region. In 1991 Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines injected about fifteen million tonnes of sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere. There it formed a veil of fine droplets that reflected sunlight back into space and lowered the average temperature of the whole planet by about half a degree Celsius for more than a year. Volcanologists compare eruptions on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, a scale from 0 to 8 based mainly on the volume of rock and ash thrown out, on which most steps are ten times larger than the one below. The lava fountains of Kilauea rate 0 or 1, Mount St Helens rated 5 and Pinatubo 6. In 1815 Tambora, in Indonesia, rated 7, and the year that followed was remembered in Europe and North America as the year without a summer. ## Living with volcanoes Some 800 million people live within a hundred kilometres of an active volcano, drawn by fertile soils and geothermal heat, or because their families have always lived there. Most volcanoes give warning before they erupt: swarms of small earthquakes as magma forces its way upwards, a swelling of the ground that satellites can measure to the centimetre, and changes in the gases that seep from the summit. Observatories that watch for these signs have given towns time to evacuate. In Iceland, geothermal heat from young volcanic rock warms about nine homes in every ten and generates nearly a third of the country’s electricity, and the richest farmland of Java and southern Italy lies on weathered volcanic ash. Most lava flows move slowly enough for people to walk away; they bury houses, roads and fields but seldom take lives. Far more people have died in pyroclastic flows, fast, scorching avalanches of gas, ash and rock that can race down a mountainside at more than a hundred kilometres an hour, and in mudflows, which form when an eruption melts snow or when rain soaks loose ash. Scientists can say that an eruption is becoming more likely, but they can rarely say when it will happen or how large it will be, and a false alarm has its own cost when a city has to be emptied. Around Naples, where more than half a million people live in the zone most exposed to Vesuvius, the emergency plan counts on about three days of warning to move them all to safety. ## Check your understanding 1. Why does ocean floor sink at a subduction zone while a continent stays at the surface? 2. Explain how adding water to hot mantle rock can make it melt without heating it. 3. Mount Fuji and Mauna Loa are both volcanoes. Why is one steep and the other broad? 4. What signs warn volcanologists that magma is rising towards the surface? 5. Why can a single large eruption lower the temperature of the whole planet for a year? :::paragraphs{style="colophon"} From *Earth in Motion*, an imaginary textbook.

#Rendi la fascia più alta
BAND stabilisce l’altezza della fascia, la posizione del numero e l’altezza riservata sopra il testo. Una fascia più alta spinge testo alla pagina successiva, quindi riadatta ogni capitolo (vedi l’ultimo errore frequente) o lascia che i capitoli proseguano senza salto.
-const BAND = 100; // mm from the trim to the foot of the band
+const BAND = 128; // mm from the trim to the foot of the band#Stampalo con l’abbondanza
Con un’abbondanza di 3 mm, la fascia, il suo piede e l’unghiatura vanno 3 mm oltre il formato rifilato, il numero resta sul piede e page.cutLines si attiva con lo stesso valore.
-const BLEED = 0; // mm: 0 on screen; about 3 for print, which also switches on page.cutLines
+const BLEED = 3; // mm: 0 on screen; about 3 for print, which also switches on page.cutLines#Aggiungi un colore per un altro capitolo
Ogni colore di capitolo è una voce di palette e uno stile in più; scrivi {style="slate"} sulla riga del titolo di quel capitolo.
band2: '#2e6f73', // the second chapter colour, a teal; the sea in Figure 3.1
+ band3: '#3d4f6b', // a third chapter colour, a slate blue

Con 'any' un capitolo si apre sulla pagina successiva. Dopo un capitolo che finisce su un recto si apre sul verso, senza pagina bianca prima, e il suo numero sta dal lato del dorso, poiché pende dal bordo destro della pagina. Queste pagine restano uguali, perché il capitolo 3 finisce già su un verso.

Errore frequente
Un’apertura riserva altezza fino al suo elemento ancorato alla pagina più basso
Un’apertura con progetto avanzato riserva l’altezza del suo elemento più basso, e contano anche gli elementi ancorati alla pagina o all’abbondanza sotto il titolo, quindi una decorazione al piede della pagina spinge il testo alla pagina successiva. Dai a un elemento del genere reserve: false (da postext 1.5): viene dipinto dove è ancorato e non riserva nulla. Gli elementi che seguono la fascia stessa (ancorati al suo piede, o alti 'fill') non ne determinano mai l’altezza. Aperture progettate →
Errore frequente
Valori degli attributi: niente { o }; virgolette semplici per un valore con "
Il valore di un attributo finisce alla graffa di chiusura, quindi non può contenere { o }. Un valore che contiene una virgoletta doppia va tra virgolette semplici; il simbolo del dollaro va bene. Attributi dei titoli →
Errore frequente
Un elemento flottante 'top' va alla pagina dopo la sua citazione, a meno che non possa aprire la pagina che lo cita
Per impostazione predefinita un elemento flottante non va mai sopra il proprio riferimento, quindi un flottante 'top' a tutta larghezza citato a pagina N apre la pagina N+1. Imposta placement.citingPage: true sulla risorsa o sul defaultPlacement del suo tipo (o layout.floatsAtCitingPage per tutto il libro, da postext 1.25) e aprirà invece la pagina N, con il testo sopra il riferimento che scende sotto di esso, quando entra entro layout.maxTopFraction e la riga che lo cita resta su quella pagina. Non apre mai la prima pagina di un capitolo né una pagina dopo un’interruzione forzata: lì apre ancora la pagina successiva, e 'auto' o 'bottom' possono prendere il piede della pagina che lo cita. Collocazione delle figure →
- La fascia ha un’altezza fissa, mentre l’occhiello, il titolo e il sommario pendono dal margine superiore e crescono verso il basso, quindi un sommario più lungo o un titolo su tre righe finisce sul piede. Tieni i sommari attorno alle cinque righe, come fanno entrambe le edizioni, o ricava
BANDdall’apertura più lunga. - La formula per la
ydel numero presupponelineHeight: 1. La linea di base di un testo di design sta a 0,8 dell’altezza del suo riquadro di riga, e0.8 * NUMERALè quella distanza solo quando il riquadro è alto quanto il carattere. Se cambi l’interlinea o l’ancoraggio, la formula deve cambiare con loro.BEARINGè regolato a occhio, perché ogni cifra ha il suo spazio laterale (qui il 3 e il 4 finiscono a 0,8 mm l’uno dall’altro). - La palette di uno stile ricolora elementi di design e testo. Un’immagine mantiene i colori con cui è stata disegnata: la figura 4.1 è verde acqua perché il codice la disegna da
band2, e una figura terracotta collocata nel capitolo 4 resterebbe terracotta. - Con
parity: 'odd', un capitolo che supera di poche righe la sua ultima pagina lascia una pagina quasi vuota e un verso bianco prima dell’apertura successiva. Adatta il testo, come fanno entrambe le edizioni qui, e controlla l’ultima pagina di ogni capitolo ogni volta che cambiano il testo oBAND.
