成品一览

这是Michael Faraday《The Chemical History of a Candle》的第一讲,排成一本小开本普及本,页面尺寸为156 × 234 mm。讲座以一片烟灰色区域开篇,一支点燃的蜡烛立在它的下缘;正文用Libre Bodoni排成一栏,两端对齐。在一般书里放脚注的地方,深橙色的小号上标数字把读者引向讲座末尾。注释单独成页,页首是一条烟灰色色带,里面的蜡烛已经熄灭;注释用8.2 pt分两栏齐左排出,每个粗体编号悬挂在缩进里。六条注释中有三条出自William Crookes,取自他1861年版本的1908年重印本;另外三条是新写的,署名Ed.。两栏结束在同一行,版权信息排在第二栏末尾。

这道食谱解答

  • 脚注怎么做?
  • 怎样排参考文献或术语表(悬挂缩进、较小字号)?
  • 不用完整的数学公式,怎样写上标、下标和化学式?

// Use: buildDocument({ markdown: endnotes(markdown) }, config()), with a 'note' paragraph style.
// [^label] in the text → **^n^**, numbered by first citation; bold, so it takes bodyText.boldColor.
// The [^label]: definitions (one line each) print where the first stood, a 'note' paragraph each:
// '**n** text', never '1. text', which would open a numbered list (gotcha: digit-period-list).
function endnotes(markdown, style = 'note') {
  const notes = new Map(); // label → text
  const HOLE = '\u0000'; // marks where a definition stood: the first becomes the notes
  const text = markdown.replace(/^\[\^([^\]\s]+)\]:[ \t]*(.+)\n?/gm,
    (_, label, note) => { notes.set(label, note.trim()); return HOLE; });
  const cited = []; // labels in order of first citation
  const number = (label) => {
    if (!notes.has(label)) throw new Error(`The note [^${label}] has no definition`);
    if (!cited.includes(label)) cited.push(label);
    return cited.indexOf(label) + 1;
  };
  // Markers side by side share one superscript, [^a][^b] → **^1,2^**, never 12 raised (note 12).
  // A word joiner (U+2060, no width) opens each one: after an italic, '*Royal George*' and the
  // bold's ** would make '***', which the parser reads as a bold run, and print the asterisks.
  const marked = text.replace(/(?:\[\^[^\]\s]+\])+/g, (run) => {
    const numbers = [...run.matchAll(/\[\^([^\]\s]+)\]/g)].map(([, label]) => number(label));

做法

#1 · 在排版之前把脚注改成尾注

预处理程序就是上面的简短回答。Postext自己就能排[^1]注释(脚注),位置在引用它的栏底,或者设placement: 'chapterEnd'时,放在本章最后一个块之后。无论哪种方式,注释都留在本章的栏里,用正文字体,排在一条短线下。这个版本要给注释一个标题、一条色带和一个双栏页面,而标题样式只能作用于写在Markdown里的标题。所以pen在调用buildDocument之前改写Markdown,引擎根本不会看到[^1]。它按正文首次引用的顺序给标记编号,并按这个顺序把所有定义放在第一个定义所在的位置,排在## Notes之下。每条注释以**1**开头,因为1. 会开始一个编号列表。每个标记以一个词连接符(U+2060)开头;没有它,*Royal George*之后那个标记的**会与斜体的闭合星号连成***,星号就会印出来。

#2 · 把粗体留给标记

script.js · 第60–61行在完整代码中
const markers = { boldColor: col('ember'), // **^n^**: a superscript at 58 % of the text size
  referenceBold: false }; // [Fig. 1] follows the bold colour, set roman

预处理程序把每个标记写成**^n^**。插入符号把数字设为正文字号的58 %,并上移其三分之一(行内格式);粗体则让它取bodyText.boldColor,这个颜色空着没用,因为Faraday从不用粗体。5.8 pt的数字需要与纸面达到4.5:1的对比度,而火焰橙只有2.6:1,所以标记改用更深的余烬色。第17页上的引用[Fig. 1]印成同一种颜色,但用正体,因为referenceColor默认取粗体颜色,而referenceBold: false去掉了粗体。

#3 · 注释用小一号的字,编号放在悬挂缩进里

script.js · 第65–79行在完整代码中
const NOTE = 8.2; // pt: the notes' size, about four fifths of the text
// The hang is a bold number and an en space, measured in the notes' face once the fonts are in:
// a bold 5 matches 2, 3 and 6 within 0.02 em (the 4 is 0.05 em wider, the 1 0.14 em narrower).
function hang(label = '5') { // from ten notes on, pass the widest label: hang('10')
  const ctx = new OffscreenCanvas(1, 1).getContext('2d');
  const width = (w, s) => { ctx.font = `${w} 100px "${TEXT}"`; return ctx.measureText(s).width; };
  return em((width(700, label) + width(400, ' ')) / 100);
}
// Ragged, as justifying would stretch the en space (gotcha: ragged-no-hyphenation).
const noteStyles = () => [{ id: 'note', fontSize: pt(NOTE), lineHeight: pt(NOTE * 1.3),
  textAlign: 'left', hangingIndent: hang() },
  // 22 pt above the colophon is copy-fitted: its last line and the first column's share a line.
  { id: 'colophon', fontFamily: LABEL, fontSize: pt(7), lineHeight: pt(9.2), color: col('muted'),
    textAlign: 'left', firstLineIndent: pt(0), marginTop: pt(22) },
];

注释为8.2 pt,行距10.7 pt,约为正文字号的五分之四。字体加载后,pen用Libre Bodoni测量这一样式的hangingIndent:一个粗体5加一个半角空格共1.12 em,所以每条注释的第一个词与其转行对齐(段落样式)。编号放到悬挂缩进里之后,注释之间就不需要空行。注释齐左排,因为两端对齐会拉宽那个半角空格,而在55 mm的栏里两端对齐8.2 pt的字会排得很松。波浪号设下标,就像插入符号设上标一样,例如注释4中的C~25~H~52~和注释5中的H~2~O。

#4 · 给注释一个双栏页面

script.js · 第116–129行在完整代码中
const BAND = 82; // mm from the trim's top: level with the foot of Figure 1 across the spread
// The band sets the reserve too, but the first grid line clear of it lies 3 mm under the soot:
const BAND_GAP = 5; // mm more of minHeight moves the notes down a line
const notesSection = { id: 'notes', // an opener page: the drop folio, no running heads
  breakBefore: { enabled: true, parity: 'any' }, span: 'page', // the next page, either side
  layout: { layoutType: 'double', gutterWidth: mm(6) }, // two columns of about 40 characters
  advancedDesign: { enabled: true, minHeight: mm(BAND - TOP + BAND_GAP), slot: { elements: [
    soot(BAND), art('snuffed', 32, 64, BAND, 12), series,
    text('kicker', '{attr.kicker}', LABEL, 9.5, 'flame', at('container', 'top-left', 0, 16),
      caps(9.5)),
    text('title', '{titleText}', DISPLAY, 52, 'wax', below('kicker', 0.5, 80), display),
    text('intro', '{attr.intro}', LABEL, 8.4, 'rule', below('title', 2.5, 92),
      { lineHeight: 1.3 }),
  ] } } };

标题## Notes {style="notes" …}开始一个部分,这一部分的页面采用该样式的版式和版面设计。parity: 'any'让它从下一页开始,不论奇偶;span: 'page'让色带横跨两栏,一直伸到裁切边,第二栏从色带下方开始(标题样式)。预留高度由色带决定,但离开色带后的第一条网格线距烟灰色区域只有3 mm,所以BAND_GAP给minHeight加上5 mm,注释从低一行的位置开始。栏间细线声明在文档的layout上,因为1.4.1不绘制标题样式的columnRule。各栏齐底默认开启,它会裁切末页,让两栏结束在同一行(各栏齐底)。

#5 · 讲座以一片烟灰色区域开篇

script.js · 第101–112行在完整代码中
const FIELD = 112; // mm from the trim's top
// The field reaches below the heading, so it sets the reserve (gotcha: opener-reserves-anchored);
// the H1's default bottom margin (0.5 em of 18 pt) rides on it: the text starts a grid line lower.
const opener = { enabled: true,
  slot: { elements: [soot(FIELD), art('candle', 40, 100, FIELD, 10), series,
    text('kicker', '{attr.kicker}', LABEL, 9.5, 'flame', below('series', 17, 60), caps(9.5)),
    text('title', '{titleText}', DISPLAY, 48, 'wax', below('kicker', 1.5, 96), display),
    // 86 mm breaks the subtitle after a dash: no-break spaces do not hold (gotcha: nbsp-breaks)
    text('subtitle', '{attr.subtitle}', DISPLAY, 11.5, 'rule', below('title', 3.5, 86),
      { fontWeight: 500, italic: true, lineHeight: 1.3 }),
    text('byline', '{attr.byline}', LABEL, 7.6, 'rule', below('subtitle', 7, 84), caps(7.6)),
  ] } };

这片区域是一个锚定在页面上的框,蜡烛是一个图像元素,立在框的下缘。尽管讲座只有一栏,第一级标题仍设span: 'page':没有它,1.4.1会在栏顶裁掉版面设计,而不是从裁切边开始绘制。眉题、副标题和作者署名来自标题行# A Candle {kicker="Lecture I" subtitle="…" byline="…"},所以第二讲不需要新代码。这片区域延伸到标题下方,因此由它决定预留高度。标题默认的0.5 em下外边距加在上面,正文从离开烟灰色区域后的第一行再往下一个网格行开始。副标题宽86 mm,这样它会在破折号后折行,因为不换行空格在设计文本里不起作用。

#6 · 烟灰上用火焰橙,纸上用余烬色

script.js · 第13–23行在完整代码中
const palette = {
  ink: '#1f1c19', paper: '#fffdf8', // text and the soot of the fields; a warm white page
  flame: '#e08a1e', ember: '#a9560c', // kickers on soot (6:1); markers and numbers (5.1:1)
  wax: '#f6efe1', rule: '#d4c6ad', // type on soot; hairlines and small type on soot (10:1)
  muted: '#6d6356', blue: '#4f7cae', // running heads, colophon (5.8:1); a flame's blue foot
};
const col = (id) => ({ hex: palette[id], model: 'hex', paletteId: id });
// The engine's defaults link to 'main-color': point it at the ember, so nothing prints blue.
// col() writes the hex too: design slots do not read the palette (gotcha: palette-skips-designs).
const colorPalette = Object.entries({ ...palette, 'main-color': palette.ember })
  .map(([id, hex]) => ({ id, name: id, value: { hex, model: 'hex' } }));

火焰橙在烟灰色上的对比度为6:1,在纸上只有2.6:1。它用于深色色带上的眉题和插图;纸上所有用橙色印的小字(标记、注释编号、图的标签)都改用更深的余烬色,对比度为5.1:1。main-color指向余烬色,所以配置里没有重新设定的默认值会跟随设计,而不会印成蓝色。

Markdown样例 · 36行 · content.en.mdtitle: "The Chemical History of a Candle" author: "Michael Faraday" --- # A Candle {kicker="Lecture I" subtitle="The Flame – Its Sources – Structure – Mobility – Brightness" byline="Michael Faraday · Christmas 1860"} I purpose, in return for the honour you do us by coming to see what are our proceedings here, to bring before you, in the course of these lectures, the Chemical History of a Candle. I have taken this subject on a former occasion;[^christmas] and were it left to my own will, I should prefer to repeat it almost every year—so abundant is the interest that attaches itself to the subject, so wonderful are the varieties of outlet which it offers into the various departments of philosophy. There is not a law under which any part of this universe is governed which does not come into play, and is touched upon in these phenomena. There is no better, there is no more open door by which you can enter into the study of natural philosophy, than by considering the physical phenomena of a candle. I trust, therefore, I shall not disappoint you in choosing this for my subject rather than any newer topic, which could not be better, were it even so good. But we must speak of candles as they are in commerce. Here are a couple of candles commonly called dips. They are made of lengths of cotton cut off, hung up by a loop, dipped into melted tallow, taken out again and cooled, then re-dipped until there is an accumulation of tallow round the cotton. In order that you may have an idea of the various characters of these candles, you see these which I hold in my hand—they are very small, and very curious. They are, or were, the candles used by the miners in coal mines. In olden times the miner had to find his own candles; and it was supposed that a small candle would not so soon set fire to the fire-damp in the coal mines as a large one; and for that reason, as well as for economy’s sake, he had candles made of this sort—20, 30, 40, or 60 to the pound. They have been replaced since then by the steel-mill, and then by the Davy-lamp, and other safety-lamps of various kinds. I have here a candle that was taken out of the *Royal George*[^george], it is said, by Colonel Pasley. It has been sunk in the sea for many years, subject to the action of salt water. It shews you how well candles may be preserved; for though it is cracked about and broken a good deal, yet, when lighted, it goes on burning regularly, and the tallow resumes its natural condition as soon as it is fused. Mr. Field, of Lambeth, has supplied me abundantly with beautiful illustrations of the candle and its materials. I shall therefore now refer to them. And, first, there is the suet—the fat of the ox—Russian tallow, I believe, employed in the manufacture of these dips, which Gay Lussac, or some one who entrusted him with his knowledge, converted into that beautiful substance, stearin, which you see lying beside it. A candle, you know, is not now a greasy thing like an ordinary tallow candle, but a clean thing, and you may almost scrape off and pulverise the drops which fall from it without soiling anything. This is the process he adopted:[^stearin]—The fat or tallow is first boiled with quick-lime, and made into a soap, and then the soap is decomposed by sulphuric acid, which takes away the lime, and leaves the fat re-arranged as stearic acid, whilst a quantity of glycerin is produced at the same time. Glycerin—absolutely a sugar, or a substance similar to sugar—comes out of the tallow in this chemical change. The oil is then pressed out of it; and you see here this series of pressed cakes, shewing how beautifully the impurities are carried out by the oily part as the pressure goes on increasing, and at last you have left that substance which is melted, and cast into candles as here represented. The candle I have in my hand is a stearin candle, made of stearin from tallow in the way I have told you. Then here is a sperm candle, which comes from the purified oil of the spermaceti whale. Here also are yellow bees-wax and refined bees-wax, from which candles are made. Here, too, is that curious substance called paraffin, and some paraffin candles made of paraffin obtained from the bogs of Ireland.[^paraffin] I have here also a substance brought from Japan, since we have forced an entrance into that out-of-the-way place—a sort of wax which a kind friend has sent me, and which forms a new material for the manufacture of candles. There is another condition which you must learn as regards the candle, without which you would not be able fully to understand the philosophy of it, and that is the vaporous condition of the fuel. In order that you may understand that, let me shew you a very pretty, but very common-place experiment. If you blow a candle out cleverly, you will see the vapour rise from it. You have, I know, often smelt the vapour of a blown-out candle—and a very bad smell it is; but if you blow it out cleverly, you will be able to see the vapour into which this solid matter is transformed. I will blow out one of these candles in such a way as not to disturb the air around it, by the continuing action of my breath; and now, if I hold a lighted taper two or three inches from the wick, you will observe a train of fire going through the air till it reaches the candle. I am obliged to be quick and ready, because, if I allow the vapour time to cool, it becomes condensed into a liquid or solid, or the stream of combustible matter gets disturbed. Now, as to the shape or form of the flame. It concerns us much to know about the condition which the matter of the candle finally assumes at the top of the wick—where you have such beauty and brightness as nothing but combustion or flame can produce.[^combustion] You have the glittering beauty of gold and silver, and the still higher lustre of jewels, like the ruby and diamond; but none of these rival the brilliancy and beauty of flame. What diamond can shine like flame? It owes its lustre at night-time to the very flame shining upon it. The flame shines in darkness, but the light which the diamond has is as nothing until the flame shine upon it, when it is brilliant again. The candle alone shines by itself, and for itself, or for those who have arranged the materials. Now, let us look a little at the form of the flame as you see it under the glass shade. It is steady and equal; and its general form is that which is represented in the diagram [:ref{id="flame"}], varying with atmospheric disturbances, and also varying according to the size of the candle. It is a bright oblong—brighter at the top than towards the bottom—with the wick in the middle, and besides the wick in the middle, certain darker parts towards the bottom, where the ignition is not so perfect as in the part above. I can give you here a little further illustration, for the purpose of shewing you how flame goes up or down; according to the current. I have here a flame—it is not a candle-flame—but you can, no doubt, by this time, generalise enough to be able to compare one thing with another. What I am about to do is to change the ascending current that takes the flame upwards into a descending current. This I can easily do by the little apparatus you see before me. The flame, as I have said, is not a candle flame, but it is produced by alcohol, so that it shall not smoke too much. I will also colour the flame with another substance,[^copper] so that you may trace its course; for with the spirit alone you could hardly see well enough to have the opportunity of tracing its direction. By lighting this spirit-of-wine, we have then a flame produced; and you observe that when held in the air, it naturally goes upwards. You understand now easily enough why flames go up under ordinary circumstances—it is because of the draught of air by which the combustion is formed. But now, by blowing the flame down, you see I am enabled to make it go downwards into this little chimney—the direction of the current being changed. Before we have concluded this course of lectures, we shall shew you a lamp in which the flame goes up and the smoke goes down, or the flame goes down and the smoke goes up. You see, then, that we have the power in this way of varying the flame in different directions. It is too bad that we have not got further; but we must not, under any circumstances, keep you beyond your time. It will be a lesson to me in future to hold you more strictly to the philosophy of the thing, than to take up your time so much with these illustrations. ## Notes {style="notes" kicker="Lecture I" intro="The raised numbers in the lecture point here. Notes signed by the editor are new to this edition; the rest are William Crookes’s, from the impression of 1908."} [^christmas]: Faraday first gave this course of six lectures at Christmas 1848. The text printed here is that of his second course, given at the Royal Institution in 1860–61 and published in 1861, edited by William Crookes. *Ed.* [^george]: The *Royal George* sunk at Spithead on the 29th of August, 1782. Colonel Pasley commenced operations for the removal of the wreck by the explosion of gunpowder, in August, 1839. The candle which Professor Faraday exhibited must therefore have been exposed to the action of salt water for upwards of fifty-seven years. [^stearin]: The fat or tallow consists of a chemical combination of fatty acids with glycerine. The lime unites with the palmitic, oleic, and stearic acids, and separates the glycerine. After washing, the insoluble lime soap is decomposed with hot dilute sulphuric acid. The melted fatty acids thus rise as an oil to the surface, when they are decanted. They are again washed and cast into thin plates, which, when cold, are placed between layers of cocoa-nut matting, and submitted to intense hydraulic pressure. In this way the soft oleic acid is squeezed out, whilst the hard palmitic and stearic acids remain. These are further purified by pressure at a higher temperature, and washing in warm dilute sulphuric acid, when they are ready to be made into candles. These acids are harder and whiter than the fats from which they were obtained, whilst at the same time they are cleaner and more combustible. [^paraffin]: Paraffin wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons with 20 to 40 carbon atoms, such as C~25~H~52~. Karl von Reichenbach first isolated it from wood tar in 1830; by 1860 it was distilled for candles from shale, peat and coal. *Ed.* [^combustion]: As it burns, the vapour of the wax combines with oxygen from the air and leaves the flame as water, H~2~O, and carbon dioxide, CO~2~, which Faraday calls “carbonic acid”. He finds the water in Lecture II and the carbonic acid in Lecture V. *Ed.* [^copper]: The alcohol had chloride of copper dissolved in it: this produces a beautiful green flame. :::paragraphs{style="colophon"} Set in Libre Bodoni, Besley and Archivo Narrow, all three under the SIL Open Font License.

#让Postext排注释

去掉endnotes()和## Notes标题,在各条定义之间加空行(引擎把一条定义读到下一个空行为止),并在配置里加上footnotes: { placement: 'chapterEnd' }。引擎会给标记编号,把注释排在讲座末尾、版权信息之后,仍在那一栏里;排在引用栏底部的脚注讲的是如何设置引擎所排注释的样式。

#用墨色印标记

如果正文自己用粗体表示强调,就把标记印成墨色,因为boldColor会同时给标记和每个粗体词上色。

-const markers = { boldColor: col('ember'), // **^n^**:上标,为正文字号的58 %
+const markers = { boldColor: col('ink'), // **^n^**:上标,为正文字号的58 %

#让注释各栏不齐底

关闭末页的各栏齐底,第一栏会先排满到栏底,第二栏才开始。

-  headings: { fontFamily: DISPLAY, color: col('ink'), levels: [
+  headings: { fontFamily: DISPLAY, color: col('ink'), balancing: { trailing: false }, levels: [

常见问题

易错点

段首的'1998. '或'- '会开始一个列表

以数字、句点和空格开头,或以连字符和空格开头的段落,会变成列表项。在数字前放一个连接符(U+2060),对话用长破折号来写。 转义与字面字符 →

易错点

齐左文字从不断词

断词只用于两端对齐的文字;左对齐不齐行的文字在词间断行,所以窄栏的齐左文字行尾会很参差。把这段改为两端对齐,或加大行长。 断词与文档语言 →

易错点

标题样式的栏间线不会绘制

在postext 1.4.1中,标题样式的layout可以把它这一节切换成两栏,但渲染器只读取文档的layout.columnRule,所以headingStyles[].layout中的columnRule会被忽略。改为在文档的layout上声明栏间线:它只在页面多于一栏的地方绘制,因此单栏的书只在那个两栏的节上出现这条线。 栏间线 →

易错点

不换行空格仍然会断行

在postext 1.4.1中,断行器把U+00A0当作普通空格,所以0.08 %、2.006 s或Section 2可能被拆到两行。把两部分连写(0.08%),或者改写句子。 转义与字面字符 →

易错点

'top'浮动体不会出现在引用它的那一页

浮动体不会排在自己的引用之前,所以在第N页引用的整页宽'top'浮动体会出现在第N+1页的顶部。把引用提前,或者使用position 'auto'或'bottom',它们可以占用引用页的底部。 图的放置 →

易错点

替换调色板时,设计元素和引用颜色不会跟着变

postext 1.4.1把colorPalette读入文字样式(正文、标题、列表、题注、表格、框),但不读入页眉、页脚、章首页和篇章页的元素,也不读入bodyText.referenceColor:它们保留写在paletteId旁边的十六进制颜色。替换调色板时(例如做深色屏幕版或换色),在构建前根据colorPalette重写每一个关联的颜色。 语义调色板 →

易错点

章首页预留的高度一直到最低的页面锚定元素

高级设计的章首页会预留到其最低元素为止的高度,标题下方锚定在页面或出血上的元素也算在内,所以页脚处的装饰会把正文推到下一页。把这类装饰放在标题上方,移到页眉或页脚槽位,或者用minHeight设定预留高度。 设计过的章首页 →

易错点

传入任何headings对象都会关掉H1换页

默认情况下,H1换页到右页(always-odd),但只要传入headings对象,这个默认值就会被重置,于是各章接排,span: 'page'也不起作用。在每份配置中重新写明headings.levels[0].breakBefore: { enabled: true, parity }。 从右页开始的章 →

易错点

设计文本的overflow默认为'ellipsis-end'

宽度放不下的设计文本元素默认以省略号结尾。需要折成多行的标题,设置overflow: 'wrap'。 页面设计中的文字、线条和框 →

易错点

SVG <img>中的文字不能使用网络字体

SVG作为图像绘制,而图像无法使用页面的网络字体,所以其中的标签会退回系统字体。把文字转成轮廓,在SVG中嵌入@font-face子集,或者把标签移到题注里。 作为资源的图和表 →

易错点

SVG插图中不要用<marker>或滤镜(会退回位图)

SVG图只有在不含<marker>、滤镜和蒙版时,才能在PDF中保持矢量;否则会退回位图,而且层层嵌套的滤镜可能让它在Chrome中变成空白。箭头用路径来画。 作为资源的图和表 →

易错点

第1页是右页:按物理页码规划页面

第1页是右页(奇数页),第2页是第一个左页(偶数页),所以要按物理页码规划跨页:偶数页上的章首页对着它后面的奇数页。 换页与换栏 →

易错点

frontmatter的每个值都加引号

YAML会把title: 1984读成数字,把日期读成Date对象;非字符串的值在占位符中打印为空,PDF也会没有标题。每个值都加引号:title: "1984"。 文档元数据 →

易错点

配置按对象身份缓存:每次新建一个对象

引擎按对象身份缓存解析后的配置,所以就地修改配置再构建,会复用旧的结果。每次构建都新建一个对象,这也是食谱的配置写成工厂函数config()的原因。 在Canvas上绘制页面 →

易错点

排版前加载所有字体

排版用浏览器已加载的字体测量文字,并缓存宽度,所以首次构建之后才到的字体会造成断行错误,PDF也不再与屏幕一致。先加载所有字重和样式;有字体迟到时,重新构建前调用clearMeasurementCache()。 排版前加载字体 →
