margins
The margins object is used to set a Print section or Master Page's margins in a Control Script (see Control Scripts and Control Script API).
Note that Master Pages are only used in a Print context (see Master Pages).
The margins object is retrieved via the section object (see section) or via the masterpages array in a template (see masterpage), respectively.
