简单来说

一本关于河口的折叠小刊物,封面是厚厚的彩色卡纸,里面是薄新闻纸。在3D查看器里它合着放在桌上,翻开时和真的一样。

成品一览

免费河口小志Low Tide第3期:八页,140 × 200毫米,两张纸对折后在折缝处钉住。外层纸(第1–2页和第7–8页)是浅橙色卡纸;内层纸(第3–6页)是便宜的新闻纸。封面只用一种孔版蓝色印在素卡纸上,没有自己的色块,所以在下面平铺的页面里它印在白纸上,而在Folio里,它带着卡纸的颜色合着放在桌上,直到你把它翻开。两种纸是Markdown里的两个块,装订是config.folio里的三项设置。

# Low Tide {style="cover" issue="Issue 3 · Winter 2026" strap="Mud, birds, boats and the people who watch them"}

# In this issue {style="feature" kicker="Welcome"}

Low Tide is made twice a year by the people who walk the river path at Pill. It is printed on the cheapest paper the printer has, folded by hand at the sailing club, and left in the pub, the post office and the bird hide. Take one. Leave it for somebody else when you have read it.

This winter we follow the dunlin that come back to the mud every October, talk to the last man in the village who still builds wooden boats, and print a tide table for the months when the light goes early. The cover is a heavier card than the pages inside it, so it survives a pocket and a little rain.

# The dunlin come back {style="feature" kicker="Birds"}

They arrive in the second week of October, a few dozen at first and then, within days, a thousand or more, feeding along the tideline in a moving grey band. Dunlin are small, about the size of a starling, with a long bill that droops at the tip. In winter they lose the black belly of their breeding plumage and turn the colour of the mud they feed on, which is why most people who walk the path never notice them until they lift.

When they lift, everybody notices. A flock of dunlin in the air turns as one bird: grey as it banks away from you, white as it turns back and shows its underside. On a clear afternoon at the top of the tide, when the mud is covered and the birds have nowhere left to feed, the flock rises off the saltmarsh and turns over the water for minutes at a time, flashing like a shoal of fish.

They come from the Arctic: from the tundra of northern Russia and Scandinavia, where they breed in the short summer and leave as soon as the young can fly. A dunlin ringed on the mud below the church in 2019 was caught again the following summer on the Taymyr Peninsula, five thousand kilometres away, and back on the same stretch of mud the October after.

Joan has counted them every Sunday morning for eleven winters. Her highest count was 4,200, in January 2021, after a week of frost on the moors drove birds down from the reservoirs. Her lowest was 380. She does not know why the numbers swing so much from year to year, and nor, she says, does anybody else.

## How to see them

Come two hours before high water and stand on the slipway by the sailing club. As the tide pushes in, the birds are driven up the mud towards you, closer and closer, until they give up and fly. Bring binoculars, and keep dogs on a lead below the hide: a bird that is flushed off the mud in winter spends energy it cannot afford.

# The last boatbuilder {style="feature" kicker="People"}

Dennis Harcombe built his first boat at fourteen, in his father's shed on Marine Parade, and his last one at seventy-eight. He reckons there were forty in between, give or take, most of them clinker-built dinghies of larch on oak, the kind every family on the river once kept at the bottom of the garden.

“The trick of it,” he says, “is that you never fight the wood. You look at a plank and you see which way it wants to bend, and you let it.” He still steams planks in a length of drainpipe over a camping stove, though these days only to repair other people's boats.

His shed is the last on the river where you can buy a pair of oars made to measure. He makes them from ash, shaves the looms by hand and charges what he charged in 1990, because, he says, the price was fair then and the oars have not got any better.

When he talks about the river he talks about the mud first: where it shifts, where the channel has moved since he was a boy, where a boat can sit out a tide and where it will be swallowed to the thwarts. He has watched the estuary change for seventy years and does not think it is finished.

# Tide table {style="feature" kicker="December to February"}

High water at Pill, in local time. Add about twenty minutes for the tide to reach the slipway at the sailing club. Spring tides, the biggest of the month, are marked in bold: on those days the mud below the hide is covered completely.

:::paragraphs{style="tides"}
**Sun 6 Dec** 07:42 and 20:05 · **Sat 12 Dec** 12:18 · **Sun 20 Dec** 06:55 and 19:20

**Sun 3 Jan** 06:31 and 18:54 · **Sat 9 Jan** 11:47 · **Sun 17 Jan** 06:10 and 18:36

**Sun 31 Jan** 05:58 and 18:22 · **Sat 6 Feb** 10:59 · **Sun 14 Feb** 05:37 and 18:01
:::

Times are for a still day. A strong westerly holds the water up and brings high tide a little early; a long dry spell on the moors does the opposite. If you are walking out on the mud, go on a falling tide and come back with an hour to spare.

:::paper{type=cardStock grammage=250 shade=#f2c9b4}

# Join us {style="back-matter" kicker="The group"}

We walk the river path on the first Sunday of every month, meeting at the sailing club at ten. Nobody needs to know anything about birds, boats or tides; most of us didn't when we started. Bring boots.

The next issue comes out in June. If you have something to say about the estuary, a drawing, a memory or a count of anything at all, leave it in the box behind the bar at the Duke of Cornwall, or write to us at the sailing club.

骑马钉小册子是一叠对折的纸,所以封面纸上有前两页和最后两页。一个块圈住第1–2页,另一个圈住第7–8页,中间的页面不在任何块里,用全书自己的纸。每个块都从新页开始、在新页结束,而这里封面和欢迎页本来就需要新页。

#2 · 新闻纸,骑马钉,封面取自页面

script.js · 第40–49行在完整代码中
const folio = {
  tilt: 20,
  // The book's paper: every page outside a :::paper fence, the inner sheet here.
  paper: { type: 'newsprint', grammage: 52 },
  // cover: 'pages' turns page 1 as the front and page 8 (a verso) as the back; on a saddle
  // stitch the cover is a sheet like the others, only heavier (gotcha: folio-cover-pages-even).
  binding: { type: 'saddleStitch', cover: 'pages' },
  surface: { type: 'plain', color: col('ink') },
  lighting: { environment: 'overcast', intensity: 1.1 },
};

folio.paper是所有不在块里的页面所用的新闻纸。saddleStitch把纸围着订书钉对折,没有平的书脊;cover: 'pages'让第1页和第8页作为封面翻动。骑马钉的封面和其他纸一样翻,只是更挺;封面那张纸如果指明了自己的纸张(卡纸),就按那种纸来画。

#3 · 单色封面

script.js · 第53–86行在完整代码中
// Eleven tide lines of a seeded length: blue rules across the foot of the cover.
let seed = 0x71de; // Mulberry32: the same lines on every run
const random = () => {
  seed = (seed + 0x6d2b79f5) | 0;
  let x = Math.imul(seed ^ (seed >>> 15), 1 | seed);
  x = (x + Math.imul(x ^ (x >>> 7), 61 | x)) ^ x;
  return ((x ^ (x >>> 14)) >>> 0) / 4294967296;
};
const tideLines = Array.from({ length: 11 }, (_, i) => ({ kind: 'rule', id: `tide-${i}`,
  direction: 'horizontal', thickness: pt(2.2 + i * 0.5), color: col('blue'),
  placement: { ...at('page', 'top-left', 10 + random() * 40, 128 + i * 5.2),
    size: { width: mm(50 + random() * 70) } } }));
const flush = { span: 'page', margins: { top: mm(0), bottom: mm(0), left: mm(0), right: mm(0) },
  footer: { elements: [] } }; // no folio on either cover (the style lasts one page)
const cover = { ...flush, id: 'cover', numbered: false, advancedDesign: { enabled: true,
  minHeight: mm(TRIM_H), slot: { elements: [
    text('issue', '{attr.issue}', caps(7.5), at('page', 'top-left', INNER, 16)),
    text('title', '{titleText}', { fontFamily: SANS, fontWeight: 800, fontSize: pt(70),
      lineHeight: 0.86, letterSpacing: pt(-2), color: col('blue') },
    { ...at('#issue', 'below', -1, 8), size: { width: mm(TRIM_W - INNER - OUTER) } }),
    text('strap', '{attr.strap}', { fontFamily: 'Newsreader', italic: true, fontSize: pt(13),
      lineHeight: 1.25, color: col('ink') },
    { ...at('#title', 'below', 1, 6), size: { width: mm(100) } }),
    ...tideLines,
  ] } } };
const back = { ...flush, id: 'back', numbered: false,
  breakBefore: { enabled: true, parity: 'even' }, advancedDesign: { enabled: true,
    minHeight: mm(TRIM_H), slot: { elements: [
      text('title', '{titleText}', { fontFamily: SANS, fontWeight: 800, fontSize: pt(26),
        letterSpacing: pt(-0.5), color: col('blue'), align: 'center' },
      { ...at('page', 'center', 0, -6), size: { width: mm(100) } }),
      text('strap', '{attr.strap}', { ...caps(7, col('ink')), align: 'center' },
        { ...at('#title', 'below', 0, 3), size: { width: mm(100) } }),
    ] } } };

封面是一个页边距为零、整页设计的标题样式:期号行、70 pt的Bricolage Grotesque标题、Newsreader斜体导语,以及十一条潮线,长度来自一个带种子的生成器,每次运行画出的都一样。页面底色不由任何元素绘制,而是卡纸本身的颜色。

#4 · 每篇文章同一个开头

script.js · 第90–100行在完整代码中
const feature = (id) => ({ id, numbered: false, breakBefore: { enabled: true, parity: 'any' },
  marginBottom: pt(LEAD), advancedDesign: { enabled: true, minHeight: mm(30), slot: {
    elements: [
      text('kicker', '{attr.kicker}', caps(7.5), at('container', 'top-left', 0, 1)),
      text('title', '{titleText}', { fontFamily: SANS, fontWeight: 800, fontSize: pt(25),
        lineHeight: 0.98, letterSpacing: pt(-0.4), color: col('ink') },
      { ...at('#kicker', 'below', 0, 2.5), size: { width: 'fill' } }),
      { kind: 'rule', id: 'rule', direction: 'horizontal', thickness: pt(2.5), color: col('blue'),
        placement: { ...at('#title', 'below', 0, 4), size: { width: mm(14) } } },
    ] } } });
const headingStyles = [cover, back, feature('feature'), feature('back-matter')];

每篇专题都是feature样式的一级标题:另起一页,眉题取自它的属性,然后是标题和一条蓝色短线。五篇文章用同一个样式,小志内页就只有两种字体和一种强调色。

#5 · 以骑马钉打开

代码就是上面的简短回答。createFolioFromDocument从doc.config.folio读取装订和封面,从page.paper读取每张纸的纸张。页数为奇数时pen会给出警告,因为第8页只有落在左页上才能成为封底。

Joan has counted them every Sunday morning for eleven winters. Her highest count was 4,200, in January 2021, after a week of frost on the moors drove birds down from the reservoirs. Her lowest was 380. She does not know why the numbers swing so much from year to year, and nor, she says, does anybody else. ## How to see them Come two hours before high water and stand on the slipway by the sailing club. As the tide pushes in, the birds are driven up the mud towards you, closer and closer, until they give up and fly. Bring binoculars, and keep dogs on a lead below the hide: a bird that is flushed off the mud in winter spends energy it cannot afford. # The last boatbuilder {style="feature" kicker="People"} Dennis Harcombe built his first boat at fourteen, in his father's shed on Marine Parade, and his last one at seventy-eight. He reckons there were forty in between, give or take, most of them clinker-built dinghies of larch on oak, the kind every family on the river once kept at the bottom of the garden. “The trick of it,” he says, “is that you never fight the wood. You look at a plank and you see which way it wants to bend, and you let it.” He still steams planks in a length of drainpipe over a camping stove, though these days only to repair other people's boats. His shed is the last on the river where you can buy a pair of oars made to measure. He makes them from ash, shaves the looms by hand and charges what he charged in 1990, because, he says, the price was fair then and the oars have not got any better. When he talks about the river he talks about the mud first: where it shifts, where the channel has moved since he was a boy, where a boat can sit out a tide and where it will be swallowed to the thwarts. He has watched the estuary change for seventy years and does not think it is finished. # Tide table {style="feature" kicker="December to February"} High water at Pill, in local time. Add about twenty minutes for the tide to reach the slipway at the sailing club. Spring tides, the biggest of the month, are marked in bold: on those days the mud below the hide is covered completely. :::paragraphs{style="tides"} **Sun 6 Dec** 07:42 and 20:05 · **Sat 12 Dec** 12:18 · **Sun 20 Dec** 06:55 and 19:20 **Sun 3 Jan** 06:31 and 18:54 · **Sat 9 Jan** 11:47 · **Sun 17 Jan** 06:10 and 18:36 **Sun 31 Jan** 05:58 and 18:22 · **Sat 6 Feb** 10:59 · **Sun 14 Feb** 05:37 and 18:01 ::: Times are for a still day. A strong westerly holds the water up and brings high tide a little early; a long dry spell on the moors does the opposite. If you are walking out on the mud, go on a falling tide and come back with an hour to spare. :::paper{type=cardStock grammage=250 shade=#f2c9b4} # Join us {style="back-matter" kicker="The group"} We walk the river path on the first Sunday of every month, meeting at the sailing club at ten. Nobody needs to know anything about birds, boats or tides; most of us didn't when we started. Bring boots. The next issue comes out in June. If you have something to say about the estuary, a drawing, a memory or a count of anything at all, leave it in the box behind the bar at the Duke of Cornwall, or write to us at the sailing club. :::paragraphs{style="credits"} Set in Newsreader and Bricolage Grotesque (SIL Open Font License) · Text: original, CC BY 4.0 · The Pill Estuary Group and the people in this issue are fictional. ::: # Low Tide {style="back" strap="Free · take one, leave one"} :::

#更厚的白色封面

改动两个块,封面纸就成了300克白卡纸;内页仍是新闻纸。

-:::paper{type=cardStock grammage=250 shade=#f2c9b4}
+:::paper{type=cardStock grammage=300 shade=#fbfaf6}

#普通小册子

去掉这两个块,封面就是一张和内页同样的新闻纸,稍厚一些。纸样册反其道而行,给每张纸都配上自己的纸张。

常见问题

易错点

cover: 'pages'需要偶数页才有封底

binding.cover设为'pages'时,第一页作为封面翻动,最后一页只有落在左页时才作为封底。页数为奇数时书只有封面没有封底:把页数补成偶数,或保留书壳。 纸张、装订、台面与光照(Folio) →

易错点

换纸段从新页开始、在新页结束,一张纸取其右页的纸张

:::paper中的文字从新页开始,其后的文字也从新页开始。一张纸有两页而只有一种纸张,即其右页的纸张,所以从左页开始的换纸段,这一页会印在它所在那张纸的纸张上。需要从右页开始的地方,加一个分页。 为一组页面换用纸张 →

易错点

Folio查看器取其容器的尺寸

createFolioFromDocument把书本放进你给它的元素中,按钮和页码显示在元素的边距里。没有高度的元素(正常文档流中的空div)什么也显示不出:要用CSS给它设定高度。 3D书本查看器(Folio) →

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 →

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 →
