How do you set page margins using \geometry
for a two-sided document? So far I've used the twoside
option in my documentclass
, which automatically widens the left/right margin on opposite sides of odd and even pages.
Edit: My inquiry is not strictly practical, as I wish to know how to achieve the same results 'without' the twoside
option.

Normally, one would simply use the
left
andright
keys, because they are actually synonyms forinner
andouter
intwoside
mode. (Alternatively, one could specify thetextwidth
andhmarginratio
keys.) In case you want to disable the swapping of margins on alternate pages, add theasymmetric
option.EDIT: So far you've used the
twoside
option in your document class, but you want to do without this option? Well, use thetwoside
option ofgeometry
instead.
