framedmargins
I want my document to have borders in all pages. I imagine I can do that using TikZ, but is there an easier way to do it?
I also asked this question here, but as the main question was something else, this one problem got ignored (probably the use of the word "margin" rather than "border" did not help my case).
Can anyone help me?
There are two things here
minipagebackground package.Only for one page
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}
\usepackage[a4paper,left=1in,right = 1in,top = 1in,bottom=1in]{geometry}
%\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\begin{minipage}[t]{.5\linewidth}
\kant[1-3]
\end{minipage}
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\node[anchor =north east, inner sep=0pt,outer sep=0pt] at (current page.north east) {\includegraphics[width=0.45\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]{example-image-a}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
For all pages
This uses background package and a same image for all pages. You can choose different images if you like but I will leave it to you. For details refer background documentation (texdoc background from command line/prompt or visit www.texdoc.net)
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{background}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\backgroundsetup{%
scale=1,
angle=0,
opacity=1, %% adjust
contents={
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\node[anchor =north east, inner sep=0pt,outer sep=0pt] at (current page.north east) {\includegraphics[width=0.45\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]{example-image-a}};
\end{tikzpicture}
}
}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}
\usepackage[a4paper,left=1in,right = 0.5\paperwidth,top = 1in,bottom=1in]{geometry}
%\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\kant[1-100]
\end{document}
This will take at least 2-3 compilations to stabilize.
You don't need tabbing; just make a command that typesets the verse number in a zero width box:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[margin=1.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum} % just for the example
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}
\setCJKmainfont{Hiragino Mincho Pro}
\newcommand{\versenum}[1]{%
\makebox[0pt][r]{[#1]\enspace}\ignorespaces
}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[2]
\begin{flushleft}
\versenum{11-9}
顏淵死、子曰：「噫天喪予、天喪予。」\\*
When Yanyuan died, the master cried: “How cruel! Heaven is killing me! Heaven is killing me!”
\end{flushleft}
\lipsum[3]
\begin{list}{}{\leftmargin=5em \rightmargin=5em}\raggedright\item\relax
\versenum{11-9}
顏淵死、子曰：「噫天喪予、天喪予。」\\*
When Yanyuan died, the master cried: “How cruel! Heaven is killing me! Heaven is killing me!”
\end{list}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}
You may want to look at the quoting package instead of making up a list manually.
You get the same result as with flushleft also using tabbing:
\begin{tabbing}
\=\=\kill
\>\versenum{11-9}\>
顏淵死、子曰：「噫天喪予、天喪予。」\\*
When Yanyuan died, the master cried: “How cruel! Heaven is killing me! Heaven is killing me!”
\end{tabbing}
but you need to set the verse number in a zero width box anyway.
A convenient definition for this would be
\newenvironment{vt}
{\begin{tabbing}\=\=\kill}
{\end{tabbing}}
\newcommand{\vtnum}[1]{\>\makebox[0pt][r]{[#1]\enspace}\>}
and the input would be
\begin{vt}
\vtnum{11-9}
顏淵死、子曰：「噫天喪予、天喪予。」\\*
When Yanyuan died, the master cried: “How cruel! Heaven is killing me! Heaven is killing me!”
\end{vt}
