/ "A.R. (Tom) Peters" <tpeters@xs4all.nl> was heard to say:
| When I create printable documents from DocBook/SGML using sgmltools or
| jade, with the usual stylesheets (Nwalsh's, or ldp.dsl), I get the
| impression that they are created for US Legal paper: too wide and too
| short.
| 
| How do I get these tools to format for A4?

Put

  (define %paper-type% "A4")

in your custom stylesheet.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
