In twoside book/memoir documents, using the geometry package:



I have been having some weird inconsistent behavior using the memoir and book classes to create twoside books. And, I am having trouble understanding the behavior of the bindingoffset / gutter is explained in the documentation.



Although there are many questions related to this topic - THIS question pertains to understanding the actual documentation of the geometry documentation.



In one place, the documentations seems to state that the bindingoffset is actually removing space from the inner margin for twoside documents, (which is what is happening in my experience), but in another place it says its supposed to be adding that space to the inner margin.



What should be the expected behavior of bindingoffset?





From the Geometry package documentation:




pg.2 - margins : left (inner), right (outer), top and bottom



pg.9 - bindingoffset removes a specified space from the lefthand-side of the page for oneside or the inner-side for twoside. bindingoffset=hlengthi. This is useful if pages are bound by a press binding (glued, stitched, stapled . . . ). See Figure 6.



pg.10 - Figure 6: The option bindingoffset adds the specified length to the inner margin. Note that twoside option swaps the horizontal margins and the marginal notes together with bindingoffset on even pages (see b)), but asymmetric option suppresses the swap of the margins and marginal notes (but bindingoffset is still swapped).



pg. 29 - ‘bindingoffset’ The macro adds the specified space to the inner margin. 523 define@key{Gm}{bindingoffset}{Gm@setlengthGm@bindingoffset{#1}}%
