Module resilient.layouts.canonical
Jan Tschichold's canonical page layout.
The text block is placed onto the page in such a way as: (a) its diagonal coincides with the page relevant diagonal, and (b) the circle inscribed within the text block is tangent to the page sides.
The text block width to height ratio is kept equal to the page ratio, as well as the inner to outer and the upper to lower margin ratios.
