I'm having trouble creating a working b5 layout with tufte-book. According to their documentation, this is supported:
The Tufte-LATEX classes currently only provide three paper sizes:
a4, b5, and us letter.
I'm however confused because nowhere it says how we're supposed to change it to b5. I tried \documentclass[b5paper]{tufte-book}
but the result has visual flaws (e.g. the title is clipped at the sides, so is chapter numbering, etc.) – it seems like it's the wrong way to do it. Also, the documentation says the b5paper
option is unsupported:
The tufte-book class is based on the LATEX book document class.
Therefore, you can pass any of the typical book options. There are
a few options that are specific to the tufte-book document class,
however.The a4paper option will set the paper size to a4 instead of the
default us letter size.The following book class options are unsupported: 10pt, 11pt,
12pt, a5paper, b5paper, […]
So – What's the correct way to change it to a working b5 layout?

The
b5paper
option seems to work fine. Here theshowframe
