I wonder how I can achieve the following two things:
I want to have defined page margins for the use of
\marginpar
notes and comments. The problem is that, although I use memoir with twoside option the oddside outer margin and the evenside outer margin differ. I want the outer margins to be exactly the same on both, odd and even pages (for example to have 6 cm outer margins and 2 cm inner margins).I would like to extend the header and footer to include the outer margin (both marginsep and marginwidth). As I understand the handbook this could be done using the
companion
pagestyle, but I prefer the default chapter style (i.e. its font, style, shape, no rule, etc.). How can I modify the chapter pagestyle to make header and footer extend into the margin area? Btw.: I did try to modifyheadwidth
by playing with thecompanion
style definition from the memoir handbook. But I had no success:
I tried this:
\setlength{\headwidth}{\textwidth}
\addtolength{\headwidth}{\marginparsep}
\addtolength{\headwidth}{\marginparwidth}
\copypagestyle{chapter}{plain}
\makerunningwidth{chapter}{\headwidth}
Here is a MWE. I tried to shorten it a bit.
\documentclass[12pt,foliopaper,twoside]{memoir}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}
\usepackage{tikz}
