Has anyone modified -mm so that it will print wide left and narrow right
margines on even numbered pages and wide-right/narrow-left margins on odd pages?
That is, I need the wide margin to be at the outside of the page and the narrow
margin to be at the inside, like this:
even (left) page: odd (right) page:
+----------------+ +----------------+
| header....text | | header....text |
| | | |
| text text | | text text |
| text text | | text text |
| text text | | text text |
| text text | | text text |
+----------------+ +----------------+
----------
I think all you have to do is switch the page offset for odd and even pages.
Add some code like:
.if e .po 2i
.if o .po 0
in either a header or footer macro (for example, .PX).
