I want to create a twoside article as a booklet where the first page is centered, and the rest is not. Using \newgeometry
and restoregeometry
within the afterpage macro doesn't work for some reason. Here's a minimal (non-)working example:
\documentclass[11pt,twoside,a5paper]{article}
\newlength{\marg}
\setlength{\marg}{1in}
\usepackage[paper=a5paper,twoside,bottom=\marg,top=\marg,left=\dimexpr\marg-.4in\relax,right=\marg]{geometry}
\usepackage{afterpage,lipsum}
\title{Some Booklet}
\author{Me \and Myself \and I}
\begin{document}
\newgeometry{margin=\marg}
\maketitle
\afterpage{\clearpage\restoregeometry}
Here is some text that will still be on the first page. As soon as the page breaks,
there should be a new (resp. old) twoside geometry, with the text continuing freely.
But it doesn't work! %(ノ°Д°)ノ︵ ┻━┻
\lipsum[1-6]
\end{document}
Does someone know why this does not work?
