Increase page margins

[DanielSWolf]

When I create a PDF file using Asciidoctor Web PDF, it has nice side margins (the borders on the left and right side). The top and bottom margins, however, are very slim, almost non-existent.

To reproduce:

1. Take this minimal AsciiDoc file

2. Call asciidoctor-web-pdf --out-file lorem.pdf lorem.adoc

3. This is the resulting PDF file. Note that on the very first page, the top margin still looks good. On the following pages, however, both top and bottom margin are only a few millimetres wide.

Is it possible to increase these margins?

More generally, is there a way to specify the page margins when calling asciidoctor-web-pdf?

Hey @DanielSWolf

Yes, you can configure margin using CSS:

@page {
  margin: 3cm 2cm 3cm 2cm;
}

Please read the "Custom styles" section to find out how to provide a custom stylesheet: https://github.com/Mogztter/asciidoctor-web-pdf#configuration

However, the top margin is indeed very slim:

Asciidoctor PDF	Asciidoctor Web PDF

I'm willing to update the default style to increase the margin a bit to match Asciidoctor PDF current output.

I just tried version 1.0.0-alpha.11. The new default margins look much better to me. Thank you!
