Mom apologizes. It’s really quite simple. By +default, mom sets headers <span class="nobr">4-1/2</span> +<a href="definitions.html#picaspoints">picas</a> +down from the top of the page and begins the running text 3 picas +(the HEADER_GAP) beneath that, which means the effective top margin +of the running text is <span class="nobr">7-1/2</span> picas (visually approx. 1 +inch). However, if you give mom a literal top margin (with +<a href="typesetting.html#t-margin">T_MARGIN</a>), +she ignores the HEADER_GAP and starts the running text at whatever +top margin you give. +</p> + +<p> +Footers are treated similarly. Mom sets footers 3 picas up from the +bottom of the page, and interrupts the processing of running text 3 +picas (the FOOTER_GAP) above that (again, visually approx. 1 inch). +However, if you give mom a literal bottom margin (with +<a href="typesetting.html#b-margin">B_MARGIN</a>), +she ignores the FOOTER_GAP and interrupts the processing of running +text at whatever bottom margin you give. +</p> + +<p> +If mom is paginating your document (she does, by default, at the +bottom of each page), the vertical spacing and placement of page +numbers, whether at the top or the bottom of the page, is managed +exactly as if the page numbers were headers (or footers), and are +controlled by the same macros.
