Frans phoned me about this problem, and here is what we discussed. When setting up a page, the margins don't count in the calculations! Their dimensions are only used in backgrounds, breaking margin text, alignment etc. The main dimensions are: backspace/topspace (rugwit/kopwit etc), width and height. Use \showframe (\toonkader) for showing the page layout. Beware not to confuse the margins with the backspace! > Also, I wonder why I get 4 identical pages showing the layout with the > test-tect on the 5th page with the following input file: > > \stelpapierformaatin[A5][A4] > \stelkorpsin[pos,fg,9pt] % switch to times incl expert set, > % thanks Taco! > \stellayoutin[plaats=midden,markering=aan] > \toonlayout % this causes 4 identical pages Right. I show four pages because one should be able to check: single sided output double sided output double sided output with single sided layout The four pages make sense on a duplex printer, where one should be able to see a spread too. I have to admit that I never use \showlayout, I always use \showframe.
