Tips

Fitting content on one page:

  1. Enable Compact Mode
  2. Reduce margins to 5-6mm
  3. Lower line height to level 1 or 2
  4. Use the two-column template (fits more content)

Making it more readable:

  1. Increase line height to level 4 or 5
  2. Bump up margins to 10-15mm
  3. Use section spacing level 4
