A5 != 210mm x 148mm ?

A5 != 210mm x 148mm ?

Hi,

If A5 is 210mm x 148mm (and the internet assures me that it is
<https://papersizes.io/a/a5>), then shouldn't these two setuppapersize
variants give the same result? They don't *seem* to.

%\setuppapersize[A5]

\setuppapersize[height=210mm, width=148mm]


\starttext

\input ward.tex

\stoptext



The reason I ask is because I'd like to prepare a PDF for printing via
IngramSpark, and have discovered that (bizarrely) their Australian branch
doesn't support A5 for colour books. They do offer 6x9 (229x152), and I was
wondering what values to use in 'setuppapersize', so I thought I'd
experiment with the A5 sizing because it's a well known size.


Now I have no idea :-(


Thanks

Kerry

Hi, 

try:

\definepapersize[myformat][height=210mm, width=148mm]
\setuppapersize[myformat]

Best wishes,

Try a5 (lowercase).

Thank you. That solves the problem.
