I would like to typeset a page in small format (for example A5) and immediately put the result on the current page (for example in A4 format). In this way I can demo the result of some operations like variations in footnote parameters in a running text, etc.
If this can be accomplished, how?

+----------------------------------+
| enclosing page A4 |

| | embedded | |
| | page A5 | |
| | format | |
