Yes! A superb idea! Something like what one sees for LaTeX page dimensions, say at: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Page_Layout On Jan 16, 2013, at 1:39 AM, Vince Virgilio <blueschi at gmail.com> wrote: > I think we need a visual guide for the various size-like options, = across the commands that take them. One page of the visual guide for = each kind of usage; all the better if a single page will do.
