I'm looking for a solution to apply a fullwidth environment for backmatter (glossary, indexes and TOC) in a Tufte-book documentclass. For this, I try to use the command \vfill to center the text on the page (due to the existence of marginpages in this documentclass.

When I only use the Fullwidth command as in the MWE as follow, I obtain the result as shown in the figure 1.

\documentclass[nobib,twoside,symmetric,justified,marginals=raggedouter]{tufte-book}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{Stylus phantasticus}
{
    name=Stylus phantasticus,
    description={Propre aux instruments, est la plus libre, et la moins contrainte des méthodes de 
    composition. Il n'est soumis à rien, ni aux mots, ni aux sujets harmoniques ; elle a été créée 
    pour montrer son habileté, et pour révéler les règles secrètes de l'harmonie, l'ingéniosité des 
    conclusions harmoniques, et l'assemblage fugué. Il est divisé en ces formes qu'on appelle 
    fantaisie, ricercar, toccata, sonate (Athanasius Kircher\index{Kircher, Athanasius}, 
   \textit{Musurgia universalis}, 1650)}
}
\defglsentryfmt[main]{\glsgenentryfmt\ifglsused{\glslabel}{}{*}}
\begin{document}
\begin{fullwidth}
\printglossaries
\end{fullwidth}
\end{document}

Figure 1: enter image description here

When I add the command \vfill as in the MWE below, it is possible to center the text on the even page but modify the page layout on the odd page, as shown in the figure 2.

\documentclass[nobib,twoside,symmetric,justified,marginals=raggedouter]{tufte-book}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{Stylus phantasticus}
{
    name=Stylus phantasticus,
    description={Propre aux instruments, est la plus libre, et la moins contrainte des méthodes de 
    composition. Il n'est soumis à rien, ni aux mots, ni aux sujets harmoniques ; elle a été créée 
    pour montrer son habileté, et pour révéler les règles secrètes de l'harmonie, l'ingéniosité des 
    conclusions harmoniques, et l'assemblage fugué. Il est divisé en ces formes qu'on appelle 
    fantaisie, ricercar, toccata, sonate (Athanasius Kircher\index{Kircher, Athanasius}, 
   \textit{Musurgia universalis}, 1650)}
}
\defglsentryfmt[main]{\glsgenentryfmt\ifglsused{\glslabel}{}{*}}
\begin{document}

\clearpage
~\vfill
\begin{fullwidth}
\printglossaries
\end{fullwidth}
\end{document}

Figure 2: enter image description here

Is it possible to apply the \vfill command only on even pages?

Please also note the insertion of an unwanted header on the previous page related to the use of the \clearpage command. If there is also the possibility of removing it, I am interested!

This is the entire preambule of my book which is very long (I use XeLateX):

  • The page number of the last entry of the glossary is not longer an issue using the last version of the environment fullwidth as in tex.stackexchange.com/a/587185/16101. Please see the figures include in the answer. Apr 30, 2021 at 16:13

1 Answer 1

As you pointed out the margins of the fullwidth environment are wrong when using even pages.

UPDATE

This update takes into account the main changes introduced by your new MWE:

(1) xelatex,

(2) the new geometry of the page.

I collected from your MWE the relevant parts for the subject at hand: the glossary design. I also left some harmless packages.

The class already loads and configures several packages: fontspec, bidi, fancyhdr, multicol, hyperref, geometry and others. Do not reload them. In particular, use natbib for bibliography, NOT biblatex.

To fit the glossary using the full page, use the macro \full that is able enlarges a single column using the outer margin, using adjmulticol (the macro was already in your MWE).

ww

toc

ztoc

Please try this code and in you system. Then add packages and new commands as needed, testing that they do not produce errors or are incompatible with the previous configuration.

  • It seems that the proposed changes are not the solution to my problem. It changes the even page of the glossary (the text is less to the right), but the insertion of the code changes the layout of the book a lot.

  • I will make an update with a full book. I used your MWE as it is. I know more changes are needed. Would you please post a MWE of a book with the complete preamble you are using? Feb 16, 2021 at 19:51
