html: margins have no effect

[HackbrettXXX]

The documentation and code suggest that the user can set page margins in the html method, but they have no effect. The margin options seem to get lost somewhere.

Some afterthoughts: The behavior between margins and the x/y and width (#2925) options is not immediately clear. I suggest the following:

• on the first page (the current page when html is called), the start actualX (actualY) is the maximum of the x (y) value and the left (top) margin
• on subsequent pages, the starting y coordinate should be the top margin. The x coordinate should still be the max of x and left margin
• Similar to x/y, the width option should be constrained by the right margin: if actualX + width would extend beyond the right margin, set the width to pageWidth - actualX - right. So the formula would be: actualWidth = min(width, pageWidth - actualX - right)
• The bottom margin is simply the margin at the bottom of each page

.html is much better than addHtml, fromHtml, etc.
I installed jspdf@2.1.1 for .html use.
Please let me know why the margin is not working in .html.
I want to use this method urgently.

Same problem. Margins in html method has no effect :(
Also width and height of html2canvas options does not seam to make any difference eather...

Make sure you are avoiding collapasing margins. For example margin-bottom on one element, and margin-top on an element below it will collapse inward to the element NOT to the margins

@HackbrettXXX Yes I think that may be very useful, I currently have a letter generation use case and am dearly missing this feature.

Ok so has there been anyone who managed to solve this ? yes @HackbrettXXX my issue was a duplicate. I am setting margin with an array of random numbers but this has no effect on the printed pdf. I am using using the latest version of jsPdf and setting of margins does not work. v2.1.1 seems like it is very limited to customizability using the html() plugin compared to the previous versions of jsPdf using fromHtml() & addHtml() Do I have to install previous version below 2.0.0 such as 1.5.3 to achive the desired outcome ?

Please can someone guide me on this ? I desperately need tis margin feature !!
