This area is positioned in the page by topspace and backspace (something bindingedge). I admit that some english keywords are less typo than some dutch ones, but alas. The width is the width of the typeset area. One can at all points ask for the \textwidth and the \makeupwidth, these are normally the same, but when typesetting in 10 columns, the first is is much smaller than the second. > * What is the meaning of the term "makeup" as in > "\startstandardmakeup"? It sort of reflects that you are doing a manual makeup. It's one page, actually a vbox similar to the text area. This is often used when making a title page.
