hoffset and voffset have no effect

hoffset and voffset have no effect

[Michael Goerz]

Hi everyone,

I cannot see any effect when using voffset and hoffset as a parameter for
\startstandardmakeup. For example:

    \startstandardmakeup[headerstate=none, footerstate=none,
                        hoffset=1in, hoffset=1in, width=4in, height=7.0in]
    ...
    \stopstandardmakeup

I'd expect them to shift the page content up and to the
right, respectively. This is guessing from their name: I actually cannot find
any documentation on these parameters. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Michael
