I created the Page Layouts for GOST.

But not resolved two things:

Explain by a concrete example:

for sheet with size 297x420 mm (A3 landscape) I set margins 8:5:5:5
(L:R:T:B) and got page's area with size 287x407 mm. Then I add line
(segm30) with properties:

origin for pos&end: lower left
pos x-y: 0-287 (upper left border of allowed area)
end x-y: 0-167
repeat count: 2

but line was not repeated. When I looked closer, I'll see that the start of
the line (0:287) is a little beyond the allowed area. I think that this is
due to rounding in the conversion from mm to mils.
I see two solutions: the first - fix the conversion from mm to mil
(better), the second - to allow the repetition of the lines outside the
allowed area.

2. For the title in the old frame GOST was implemented word wrap, which did
not fit within the specified limits. PageLayout editor does not has this
opportunity. I would like to get this capability for text (because it is
implemented in the source code for the GOST frame).
