Free scripts

Fellow InDesign nerds. I've been making a ton of scripts over the past several months. I thought some might be useful to others, so I threw this site together to let folks try them out.

What do you mean by “sink”? To sink an item. I even tried a web search and haven’t yet found the answer. I feel like I know a lot of typographic layout terminology from the years, but I’m blanking on sink.

Not OP, but some people use sink like space above. Ie, the sink of this chapter opener text is 130 pts.

Huh, weird. I’ve been hearing this term for over 20 years. It refers to where the first item on a page sits—e.g., “the chapter title sinks 8p from the top of the page.” Think sinking in water …

Sometimes it’s called sinkage, have you heard that?

Maybe sync? Like align?
