Margin (typography)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In typography, a margin is the white space that surrounds the content of a page. The margin helps to define where a line of text begins and ends. When a page is justified the text is spread out to be flush with the left and right margins. The standard margin in most word processing programs is 1 inch.

When two pages of content are combined next to each other (known as a two-page spread), the space between the two pages is known as the gutter.
