21.13 '@pagesizes' [WIDTH][, HEIGHT]: Custom Page Sizes
=======================================================

You can explicitly specify the height and (optionally) width of the main
text area on the page with the '@pagesizes' command.  Write this on a
line by itself near the beginning of the Texinfo file, before the title
page.  The height comes first, then the width if desired, separated by a
comma.  Examples:

     @pagesizes 200mm,150mm  
and
     @pagesizes 11.5in      

  This would be reasonable for printing on B5-size paper.  To emphasize,
this command specifies the size of the _text area_, not the size of the
paper (which is 250mm by 177mm for B5, 14in by 8.5in for legal).

  To make more elaborate changes, such as changing any of the page
margins, you must define a new command in 'texinfo.tex' or
'texinfo.cnf'.

  Note: Format with texi2dvi, and Note: Preparing for TeX, for other
ways to specify '@pagesizes' that do not require changing the source
file.

  '@pagesizes' is ignored by 'makeinfo'.
