In breve
La prima pagina e la pagina 2 di un settimanale locale. Mostra come far correre grandi titoli su tutta la pagina e mettere in basso una striscia di notizie brevi.
Che cosa comporrai
La prima pagina e la pagina 2 di The Elverdale Courier, un settimanale di valle immaginario, su un foglio di 246 × 328 mm. Una testata in gotico sta tra un’orecchia con il meteo e un’orecchia con il prezzo, sopra un filetto spesso, uno sottile e la riga della data. L’articolo d’apertura comincia con un titolo di due righe in Libre Franklin Black da 56 pt su entrambe le colonne, un sommario in corsivo e una fascia fotografica larga 222 mm, poi scorre su due colonne giustificate separate da un filetto sottile. Al piede, quattro brevi condividono una striscia colorata, una per colonna, ciascuna introdotta da un chip rosso. La pagina 2 si apre con una bandella di sezione rossa e contiene l’articolo sul ponte con un disegno fatto via codice, le previsioni a cinque giorni in testa alla colonna di destra, un secondo titolo su tutta la pagina, le lettere e una tabella dei voti per quartiere con una barra in ogni riga.
Questa ricetta risponde a
- Postext può comporre tre o più colonne di testo, o far scorrere il testo intorno a un’immagine?
- Come compongo un riquadro su entrambe le colonne a metà pagina, come un pannello «in cifre» a tre elementi?
- Come decido dove va una figura: in testa alla pagina, su entrambe le colonne, esattamente qui o nel margine?
- Come compongo il titolo di un capitolo a tutta larghezza mentre il testo scorre sotto su due colonne?
La risposta breve
const layout = { layoutType: 'double', gutterWidth: mm(GUTTER), // the body of every page
columnRule: { enabled: true, color: col('rule'), lineWidth: pt(0.5) } };
// The strip is a tinted, titled box, so its four columns are a :::columns group in a :::callout.
// The fence spans the page and floats the box to the foot, so the story fills the columns above:
// :::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…
// :::
// :::
// 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

Preparazione
#1 · Carta da giornale, inchiostro e un solo rosso
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
};
// Every colour is linked to its palette entry by id.
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' } },
];
La pagina è carta da giornale (#f8f5ee) e il testo è inchiostro quasi nero (#111315). L’unico rosso, #a6192e, va sulle bandelle di sezione, sugli occhielli, sui chip e sulle barre del sì. Ogni colore è collegato alla sua voce della tavolozza tramite paletteId. main-color punta all’inchiostro, quindi il grassetto, il corsivo, i due rimandi di pagina 2 e ogni valore predefinito che la configurazione non tocca si stampano in inchiostro; lasciati al loro valore, si stamperebbero nel blu predefinito, #295AA3.
#2 · La testata è l’H1 della prima pagina
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 };
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 prende lo stile di titolo front, che riempie la testata con il testo del titolo e sette dei suoi attributi (issue, area, outlook, temps, since, day e price); la data viene da publishDate nel frontmatter. Un riquadro vuoto profondo sette righe di griglia (31,1 mm) stabilisce l’altezza dell’apertura. I filetti, la riga della data e il nome sono appesi al suo piede, quindi l’apertura finisce su una riga di griglia.
#3 · Un titolo su entrambe le colonne è un riquadro
// :::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 titolo occupa entrambe le colonne solo come apertura, e un’apertura comincia una nuova pagina. Metti span: 'page' sull’H2 dell’articolo sui quartieri invece che sul suo riquadro, e quell’articolo passa a una terza pagina. Un riquadro senza cornice con span="page" può cominciare a metà pagina. A pagina 2 le colonne vengono tagliate alla pari sopra di esso e riprendono sotto. Il riquadro contiene l’H2 in uno di tre stili di titolo (56, 30 o 22 pt), il sommario in corsivo e, in prima pagina, la fotografia. Il suo marginBottom di mezza riga fa cominciare le colonne alla riga di griglia successiva, 3,4 mm sotto il sommario a pagina 2. Con il margine predefinito lo spazio è di 7,8 mm e le lettere finiscono su una terza pagina.
#4 · La striscia a quattro colonne è un riquadro con colonne
Il codice di questo passo è la risposta breve qui sopra. Il testo di entrambe le pagine scorre su due colonne (tipi di layout). Le brevi ne richiedono quattro solo al piede di pagina 1, sotto un titolo e su un fondo colorato, quindi vanno in un riquadro, qui uno a tutta pagina che contiene un gruppo :::columns. breaks conta i blocchi del gruppo, uno per breve, quindi le brevi 2, 3 e 4 aprono le colonne 2, 3 e 4. Ogni colonna è larga 49 mm, con l’intercolonna di 6 mm della pagina tra l’una e l’altra.
:::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" fa flottare il riquadro al piede di pagina 1, dove occupa 36,9 mm, e l’articolo riempie gli 83 mm di colonne sopra di esso. La foto d’apertura resta una fascia su entrambe le colonne dentro il riquadro del titolo: il testo scorre accanto a un’immagine più stretta della sua colonna, da un lato, mai attorno a un’immagine che occupa due colonne. Il disegno del ponte a pagina 2 ha il testo accanto (passo 5).
#5 · Immagini in linea, tabelle flottanti
// 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). It keeps the float gap above it, inside the box too.
// 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,
// at the column's right with the next paragraph running beside it (text wrap).
resource('bridge', 'picture', 'svg', { fileId: 'bridge.svg', width: 1190, height: 460 },
{ placement: { position: 'here', wrap: 'right', width: 0.47 },
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 fotografia sta in linea nel riquadro del titolo perché un elemento flottante top a tutta pagina non finisce mai sopra la riga che lo cita; come elemento flottante, la foto aprirebbe la pagina 2 (vedi Errori frequenti). Anche il disegno del ponte sta in linea, dopo il paragrafo sulla pila, e wrap: 'right' con width: 0.47 lo colloca a destra della colonna 1, largo il 47 % della colonna, con i paragrafi successivi che gli scorrono accanto e poi sotto a piena giustezza (testo attorno alle immagini). A quella larghezza nessuna riga accanto risulta troppo spaziata; il testo dell’articolo è stato riadattato al disegno più corto. Le previsioni flottano in testa a una colonna e finiscono in cima a quella di destra. La tabella dei quartieri flotta sotto entrambe le colonne, dove si ferma il filetto tra le colonne. Nell’ultima pagina sta subito sotto le colonne bilanciate, quindi il testo sopra è stato adattato per portarla giù fino al piede. Entrambi i tipi di risorsa impostano captionPrefix: '', e un’etichetta di didascalia si stampa solo quando il prefisso contiene testo, quindi nessuna didascalia comincia con «Figure 1».
#6 · Una pagina interna si apre con una bandella di sezione
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 è un H1 il cui breakBefore ha parità 'any', quindi la sezione apre la pagina 2 senza una pagina bianca prima. Il suo progetto grafico è una bandella rossa su una barra da 3 pt, appesa a un riquadro vuoto profondo due righe di griglia. La riga del folio è un’intestazione ancorata 6 mm sotto il bordo superiore della pagina, con una versione per le pagine pari e una per le dispari. Lo stile della prima pagina svuota l’intestazione, quindi sopra la testata non si stampa alcuna riga del folio.

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. :::paragraphs{style="jump"} How each ward voted, and what happens next: **page 2** ::: # Town & Valley :::callout{type="banner" span="page" title="Transport"} ## Old Mill Bridge reopens after 14 months {style="wide"} *Cars, buses and the Saturday market cross the Wend again.

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 just five days before the first storm of the autumn is due. 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. The bell will ring at eight, as it did before the flood, and the council is running a free bus from the station car park for the first four Saturdays. The county will inspect the town’s two other bridges, at Kirkby Lane and over the mill race, before the winter, and has promised to publish both reports. The first, on the Kirkby Lane bridge, is due in November, and the county’s engineers will present it at the Corn Exchange. The meeting is open to anyone who uses the bridges. :::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. :::columnbreak ## 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.

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 →
Errore frequente
Le bitmap prendono la dimensione di stampa da una risoluzione: dichiarala, non pixel alla dimensione di stampa
Una bitmap senza risoluzione viene impaginata a un pixel per pixel di impaginazione ai dpi del documento, quindi una foto di 2400 px è larga 406 mm su una pagina a 150 dpi. Dichiara i pixel reali del file e dai all’immagine la sua risoluzione (bitmap.resolution: 300), o imposta layout.bitmapResolution per ogni bitmap: un valore in ppi, o 'file' per leggere quello indicato dal file. La colonna limita comunque l’immagine. Figure e tabelle come risorse →
- Dai alla fotografia
placement: { position: 'top', span: 'page' }e lascerà pagina 1 per stare da sola a pagina 2. L’articolo di pagina 1 finisce allora 92 mm sopra la striscia delle brevi, e la sezione passa a pagina 3.
