I use org-mode to export my document to LaTeX. org-mode can be used with the KOMA-Script classes, which in turn support outputting nearly any imaginable paper size. In my org document, I then simply set the `LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS' option to the paper size I want. org-mode picks it up on exporting and LaTeX then creates a document of the size I wish it to have. That being said, it's a workaround. It's good enough for me, but YMMV. Am Donnerstag, dem 22. Oktober 2020 schrieb Richard Stallman: > I agree that this isn't a bug in Emacs's code.

I (being not an English native speaker) interpreted it to mean that it changes the paper size, but appearently other people think it means something different. I have had other bugs closed because I am appearently quite talented in misreading documentation, so please don't take my interpretation as authoritative. -quintus --=20 Dipl.-Jur. M.
