Summary

In this chapter, we have worked out how to design the overall layout of a document.

Specifically, we learned about choosing page dimensions, margins, and orientation. We know how to switch to a two-column layout and how to adjust line spacing. Furthermore, we are now able to customize headers and footers, add footnotes, and add a table of contents to our document.

Furthermore, we covered some general topics, such as changing document properties by choosing document class options and package options and by redefining existing commands.

Now it's time to deal with further text structures. In the next chapter, we shall learn how to create lists to present text in an easy-to-read way.
