Margins

In typesetting, the page margins (with header and footer) are the borders of the page outside of the regular text to be shown.

There are 4 main margins:
 top margin (or: header) - the top (upper) border of the page
 bottom margin (or: footer) - the lower border of the page
 left margin - the lefthand-side border of the page
 right margin - the righthand-side border of the page
Other special margins can be used, beyond the typical 4, to provide additional margin settings on a page.

 In computer CSS styles 
For webpages (such as on the Internet), the margins can be set by using CSS style sheet directives, such as:
 style="margins: 0.6em 0.7em 0.4em 0.7em" for margins: top, right, bottom & left.
 style="margin-top: 0.6em" to set just the top margin.
 style="margin-left: 0.7em" to set the left margin.
 style="margin-right: 0.7em" to set the right margin.
 style="margin-bottom: 0.4em" for the bottom margin.
Each page, and each image or formatted table on a page, can have the 4 margins set, separately.
