ISO 216 paper sizes while you're at it, please!
Because there are about 10 times as many people in the world that use A4 instead of US Letter:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size#/media/File:Prevale...
It can't work perfectly except with the A series paper sizes.
It's obviously something about paper size A5.
Because that’s the size of the paper.
The size of the physical paper makes a difference to the integrity of the content?
Read it again, it states over 100 sizes of paper. ;)
A[n] sizes are useful when enlarging or shrinking documents. Enlarge or shrink by muliples of sqrt(2) and there's always a fitting paper size available. Or you can put two A5s together on an A4, or two A4s on an A3.
Meta but what is this paper format? Its not letter, or any A format, so what is it?And more importantly, why was it used?
Like the width of an A4 sheet of paper.
