这是一个常见问题,因此值得稍作解释。
默认情况下,Layout Page Unbalanced Lines 设置为 0。这意味着列平衡器必须不断从页面中移除内容,直到达到完美平衡。另一个要求是,超过 1 行的段落不能在页面上以少于 2 行的方式断开。
页面平衡器能否在第一列和第二列各添加一行?为此,它需要从下一页拉取 2 行。但下一页以一个被拆分的 5 行段落开始。但你不能将那 3 行拆分到下一页。于是我们就得到了目前的分页情况。
那么该怎么办?
有两个选项:
- 如果你想要完美的平衡,就需要调整一些段落的长度。这就是排版师在谈论页面平衡时花费时间做的事情。这是通过使用调整文件(adjustment files)来完成的。
- 如果你愿意接受一些不完美,可以增加 unbalanced lines 的值。平衡器不允许列的不平衡程度超过该设置值。但它也会尝试最小化不平衡,因此设置较高的值并不一定会导致大量不平衡的行。
我想知道你更倾向于使用哪种策略(即使时间和经验迫使你选择选项 2)。
This is a common problem, so it’s worth a bit of an explanation.
By default the Layout Page Unbalanced Lines is set to 0. This means that the column balancer must keep removing content from the page until it can get a perfect balance. An additional requirement is that a paragraph of more than 1 line must not break with less than 2 lines on a page.
Could the page balancer add a line to the first column and the second? To do that it would need to pull 2 lines from the next page. But the next page starts with a split 5 line paragraph. But you can’t split those 3 lines on the next page. And so we get the page break we have.
So what to do?
There are two options:
- If you want perfect balancing it is necessary to adjust some paragraph lengths. This is what a typesetter spends their time doing when they talk about page balancing. This is done using adjustment files.
- If you are willing to allow a few imperfections, one could increase the unbalanced lines. The balancer will not allow a column to be more unbalanced than the setting. But it will also try to minimise the unbalancing so setting a high value doesn’t necessarily result in lots of unbalanced lines.
I would be interested in knowing which of these strategies you would prefer to use (even if time and experience forces you to use option 2).
