Is there a (relatively) easy way to change the paper size in the tufte-book class? The manual for Tufte 3.50 by Kevin Godby (http://kevin.godby.org/2009/12/11/tufte-latex-350-released/) says,
"To specify a different paper size (and/or margins) use the \geometrysetup
command in the preamble of your document (or one of the file hooks). The full documentation of the \geometrysetup
command can be found in the geometry
package documentation."
The 2008 version of the documentation, by Hideo Umeki, is referenced. This version has been superseded by the 2010 geometry
package documentation, which contains no mention of the \geometrysetup
command (at least, "find \geometrysetup
" and "find setup" turned up nothing, while searches for other commands yielded results).
So how can the page size be changed using the tufte book class?
To add a MWE, the papersize remains the default 8.5x11.5 despite the addition of the geometry
package and the \geometry
command.
\documentclass{tufte-book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{height=9in,width=6in}
\newenvironment{loggentry}[2]% date, heading
{\noindent\textbf{#2}\marginnote{#1}\\}{\vspace{0.5cm}}
\begin{document}
\begin{loggentry}{2009-Oct-31}{Snow}
\lipsum[1]
\end{loggentry}
\begin{loggentry}{2010-Dez-31}{Water of Life}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}
The answer was provided in the comments but I don't know how to mark it as correct. Thank you everyone.
\geometry
command. I still have the TeXLive DVD from 2008 and there is no\geometrysetup
command in that version ofgeometry
. Perhaps the instructions meant to use two words: "the\geometry
setup command"\geometry
instead of\geometrysetup
. I apologize for the typo. The Tufte-LaTeX document classes use thegeometry
package for adjusting the margins and page layout. You can use any of the facilities provided by that package to make the modifications you desire.\textwidth
and\textheigh
by optionswidth
andheight
. Therefore you need to set optionspaperwidth
andpaperheight
.
