這是一個常見問題,因此值得稍作解釋。
預設情況下,Layout Page Unbalanced Lines(版面頁面不平衡行數)設定為 0。這意味著欄位平衡器必須不斷從頁面中移除內容,直到達到完美平衡。另一個要求是,超過 1 行的段落不能在頁面上以少於 2 行的方式斷行。
頁面平衡器能否在第一欄和第二欄各增加一行?要做到這一點,它需要從下一頁拉取 2 行。但下一頁以一個被分割的 5 行段落開始。然而,你無法將那 3 行分割到下一頁。因此,我們就得到了目前的換頁效果。
那麼該怎麼辦?
有兩個選項:
- 如果你想要完美的平衡,就需要調整某些段落的長度。這就是排版人員在談論頁面平衡時所花費時間做的事情。這是透過調整檔案(adjustment files)來完成的。
- 如果你願意容忍一些不完美,可以增加不平衡行數。平衡器不會允許欄位的不平衡程度超過設定值。但它也會盡量減少不平衡,因此設定較高的數值不一定會導致大量不平衡的行。
我想知道你更傾向於使用哪種策略(即使時間和經驗迫使你使用選項 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).
