Page layout in L

Abstract

This article describes how to customize the page layout of your LaTeX documents, i.e how to change page margings and sizes, headers and footers, and the proper placement of figures and tables (collectively called floats) on the page. Originally this was the documentation of the fancyheadings package. It did contain also other info, e.g. advanced use of marks. It has now been upgraded to include more, e.g. the handling of floats. The fancyheadings documentation has been upgraded to conform to version 2 of this package1. For reasons of compatibility with certain operating systems, the name of the package has been changed to fancyhdr. Although this paper uses LaTeX2ε commands, most of the techniques can be used with older LaTeX versions with appropriate changes.
