<p>You can tell TeX to format a document for printing on European size
A4 paper (or A5) with the <code>@afourpaper</code> (or <code>@afivepaper</code>)
command. Write the command on a line by itself near the beginning of
the Texinfo file, before the title page. For example, this is how you
would write the header for this manual:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">\input texinfo @c -*-texinfo-*-
@c %**start of header
@settitle Texinfo
@afourpaper
@c %**end of header
</pre></div>
<p>See <a href="Format-with-texi2dvi.html">Format with <code>texi2dvi</code></a>, and <a href="Preparing-for-TeX.html">Preparing for TeX</a>,
for other ways to format for different paper sizes that do not require
changing the source file.
</p>
<span id="index-afourlatex"></span>
<span id="index-afourwide"></span>
<p>You may or may not prefer the formatting that results from the command
<code>@afourlatex</code>. There’s also <code>@afourwide</code> for A4 paper in
wide format.
