Steps to Reproduce
Run the script I send you by email.
Meanwhile, there is a bug in the full-width tab generator, I believe you don't want to use it. If it worked correctly, this is the expected output:
It will add extra material on the edge where you don't want it. I think this case is best handled either:
- by using fixed tabs with 1 horizontal tabs and zero vertical ones of width of 42 mm, or
- (especially if the layout would be asymetrical) by a hand placed annotation of two 42 mm tabs on the left and right side.
@yaqwsx, thank you for the hint with fixed tab with, that will solve my problem for now and is a valid workarround. if you can fix the full tab issue anyway, it would be great.
I discovered that if the vtab is too large, it produces an error see #751
