I am trying to set up a new page geometry with geometry package version 5.9. Earlier (Geometry package version 4.x) the code below would give the right result with a full-width head and foot rule. Now it only goes to 70% of the page. That’s a feature according to the manual. So I have two problems.
- The head and foot rule doesn’t go the full page width.
- The text goes below the page.
I understand it’s a margin and layout problem, but I don’t know how to fix it. Any help will be appreciated.
