The octavo class is a modification of the standard LaTeX book class.
|
|
Its purpose is to typeset books following classical design and
|
|
layout principles, with the express intention of encouraging the
|
|
making of beautiful books by anyone with access to a good printer
|
|
and with an inclination towards venerable crafts, e.g., bookbinding.
|
|
|
|
The octavo class differs from the book class by implementing many
|
|
of the proposals and insights of respected experts, especially Jan
|
|
Tschichold and Hugh Williamson.
|
|
|
|
The documentation discusses methods to organise and print out any
|
|
text into signatures, which can then be gathered, folded and sewn
|
|
into a book.
