This is a repository of useful layout templates for typesetting using ConTeXt.

markdown2pdf/lesspaper-ltr.tex

This template gives you a ConTeXt template that works with John MacFarlane's excellent pandoc utility.

The goal of this template is to use less paper. I did this by reducing margins to acceptable limits. The printed paper has enough margins to allow for spiral binding using the standard multi-hole punch, when printed on both sides.

The font size is 10pt, which is big enough to read.

I made this template because I don't like to waste paper, but I do love reading long documents on paper.

To see this template in action, run markdown2pdf/bstringlib.sh to download the documentation for the bstrlib C library, convert it to suitable markdown format and in turn convert into a print ready PDF using markdown2pdf.
