How can I obtain the corresponding settings for the geometry
package so that the document looks just like the standard article
or report
?
Assume that I have a document in the default style, and I would like to modify only some of the layout options; for example, I might want to change the headheight
and leave everything else the same.
Try for example the following two option settings for geometry
, the first of which shows the default layout, and then how everything changes even if I just wanted to change one of the settings.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[showframe,pass]{geometry}
%\usepackage[showframe,headheight=1.5cm]{geometry}
\begin{document}
Hello World
\end{document}
There is a related question (from which I learned about the pass
option), but note that the following
\usepackage[showframe,pass,headheight=1.5cm]{geometry}
doesn’t work.

You can compile your document with
\usepackage[pass]{geometry}
, which will write in the.log
file a transcript; here's the result (with A4 paper):Since we are in a
oneside
context, all that should be needed isBut you can always check against the old transcript.
