# Layout Optimization Report

Book: Hegel's Lectures on the History of Philosophy: Volume 3 (of 3)

- Static layout score: 79/100
- Style: nonfiction-modern
- Trim: 6x9
- Body font: Atkinson Hyperlegible
- Justification: ragged
- Speed/quality scale: 6/10

## Active Layout Rules

- Print layout automation resolves 6x9 trim geometry to inside 1.040in / outside 0.660in / top 0.780in / bottom 0.840in with very large page count; inside margin expanded for binding swell.
- Print automation keeps running heads off front matter/openers, uses dedicated folio rules, clarifies scene breaks, guards against runts, and requests page-depth balancing for short final chapter pages.
- Title pages use optical centering based on title, subtitle, series, and author block height rather than a fixed top margin.
- Copyright pages are typeset as a small lower-third block, with Creative Commons marks kept above the text block when present.
- Print Contents pages use LaTeX's live table of contents so hierarchy, page numbers, dot leaders, and indentation are generated from the final PDF layout.
- Print figures are wrapped in a single float/minipage with caption keep-together behavior, max-height constraints, and top/bottom float preference.
- CSS and LaTeX set widow/orphan penalties, heading keep-with-next, figure break-inside avoidance, and image max-height constraints.

## Static Findings

- info / Contents: 1 noisy source TOC line(s) detected; print PDF will use the live final-layout TOC instead of trusting extracted page numbers. (-1)
- info / Runts: 158 paragraph(s) end with very short words after long text; visual proofing should check for weak last lines. (-10)
- info / Widows/orphans: 519 very long paragraph(s) may create page-break pressure despite widow/orphan penalties. (-10)

## AI Optimizer Inputs

- Candidate knobs: title-page vertical target, copyright lower-third offset, TOC depth, body leading, paragraph indent, figure max height, figure float preference, chapter opening depth, and trim-specific margins.
- Recommended next loop: render candidate PDFs to page PNGs, score them with this static report plus image metrics, then ask a vision model to judge the top candidates against professional front-matter, TOC, and figure-placement rubrics.
