texinfo page sizes


I am using texinfo and want to make adjustments to the page size.

Would like to have three possibilities

1. Use a page size measuring 21cm by 21cm
2. Use text area of size 21cm by 21cm on A4 pagesize
3. Use centered text area of size 21cm by 21cm on A4 pagesize

Ok...so what would you like us to help you with?? You've only stated what you WANT, but not actually told us what you've done/tried to accomplish it. Start with the manual:

For Case 1, I have done

Code:
@pagesizes 210mm,210mm
But the resulting pdf shows that the actual paper size of 261 × 274 mm

Ok...so you've posted one single line, without any context or anything else. What do you think we can tell you besides, "Try something else"? Have you taken into account the margins? Have you set any other parameters?
