Dear Community,
The discussion below pushed me to ask this question. I would like to make a StyleSheet on the basis of
an existing one, but with a somewhat smaller left and right page margins for the text. The question is: what parameter should I fix?
Is it the CellMargins (as that below) but for the TextCell? If yes, what precisely means the figure 90 there
say, in terms of millimeters?
Best regards, Alexei

Instead of copying the entire styles, you can actually base the
SubInput/SubOutput styles directly off of whatever Mathematica's existing
Input/Output styles are, which is less work and more portable across versions of
Mathematica. Here's a version of what I'm talking about, with the appropriate
GeneratedCellStyle option set (which is the option you were looking for):
{
Cell[StyleData["SubInput", StyleDefinitions -> StyleData["Input"]],
CellMargins->{{90, Inherited}, {Inherited, Inherited}},
GeneratedCellStyles->{"Output"->"SubOutput"}],
Cell[StyleData["SubOutput", StyleDefinitions -> StyleData["Output"]],
CellMargins->{{90, Inherited}, {Inherited, Inherited}}]
}
Copy the above list into your stylesheet, replacing the previous versions of
SubInput and SubOutput, and you'll have something that works like you want, I
think.
