A diagram displaying equal margins of width 25mm on an A4 page. In typography, a margin is the area between the main content of a page and the page edges. The margin helps to define where a line of text begins and ends. When a page is justified the text is spread out to be flush with the left and right margins.
(Any space between columns of text is a gutter.) The top and bottom margins of a page are also called head and foot, respectively. The term margin can also be used to describe the edge of internal content, such as the right or left edge of a column of text. Marks made in the margins are called marginalia.
