I'd like to a couple of inconsistencies in Inessential Latex.
*** Section 3.1.1 (Optional Parameters):
> \item[fullpage] This is the easiest way to set normal margin
> widths.\footnote{Both fullpage and simplemargins (see below) are
> explained in detail in Section~\ref{sec:margins}.}
The claim here that 'fullpage' is explained at all in that (Margins) section
is untrue. The only mention of 'fullpage' in that section is this:
> to change. An easy way to use more of the page is to use the
> \verb+fullpage+ documentstyle (see section~\ref{sec:docstyle}).
*** Section 6.1 (Margins)
> to change. An easy way to use more of the page is to use the
> \verb+fullpage+ documentstyle (see section~\ref{sec:docstyle}).
This is a good place to have such a reference, but the "sec:docstyle" label
is woefully misplaced; there is no mention of fullpage anywhere near the
referent label.
At any rate, there doesn't seem to be any real discussion of "fullpage" in
iLatex. There is a brief explanation in the "Getting Started" section, but
even in that place there is a claim that "These ... styles are discussed
later in the document." Did fullpage get lost through over-editing? It
should either be re-documented or we should remove the claims to the effect
that we explain its use in iLaTeX.
