There is another parameter that tells dvidvi how you want to change page layout and specifications. This is the `-m' parameter.
The number preceding the colon is the modulo value. Everything will be done in chunks of pages this big. If there is no colon, than the default value is assumed to be one. The last chunk of pages is padded with as many blank pages as necessary.
Following the colon is a comma-separated list of page numbers. These page numbers are with respect to the current chunk of pages, and must lie in the range zero to the modulo value less one. If a negative sign precedes the number, then the page is taken from the mirror chunk; if there are m chunks, then the mirror chunk of chunk n is the chunk numbered m-n-1. Put simply, it is the chunk numbered the same, only from the end. This can be used to reverse pages. If no number is given, the page number defaults to 1.
Following each page number is an optional offset value in
parenthesis, which consists of a pair of comma-separated dimensions.
Each dimension is a decimal number with an optional unit of measure.
The default unit of measure is inches, or the last unit of measure
used. All units are in true dimensions. Allowable units of measure
are the same that TeX allows: min
, mm
, cm
, pt
,
pc
, dd
and cc
.
Simple enough, eh? Okay, let's do some simple things.
