I'm trying to create a booklet A4 which is folded "the long way", in other words such that the resulting page size is not an A5 page but rather two A6 "on top" of each other.
I changed the paper size successfully by loading the article
class with the a4paper
option and putting in my preamble
\setlength{\paperwidth}{.5\paperwidth}
However, this of course didn't change any of the lengths controlling text width, margins etc. So I assume there must be another, better way.
How?

You can use the
geometry
package, or thememoir
document class for this. Here's an example withgeometry
(the kantian stuff is just to provide filler text):If that looks close to what you need, I suggest then reading the
geometry
ormemoir
documentation to make the other adjustments you need (such as tuning the margins).
