I see.

As I really have to deal with a simple-page... I choose that option.
But there seems to be a bit difference between theory and jade:

jade:/home/doc/common/style/dsssl/tip/print/common.dsl:239:17:E: 2nd
argument for primitive "-" of wrong type: "#<unknown object
145012896>" not a quantity

Line 239 reads:

    space-after: (- 3cm (display-size))

????????????????????

Thanks
