[[File:FolioA4.svg|thumb|A comparison of the A4 and Foolscap folio papersize]]
'''Foolscap folio''' (commonly contracted to '''foolscap''' or '''cap''' or '''folio''' and in short '''FC''') is [[paper]] cut to the size of {{cvt|8+1/2|xx|13+1/2|in|sigfig=3}} for printing or to {{cvt|8|xx|13|in|sigfig=3}} for "normal" writing paper (foolscap).<ref>[https://papersizes.io/traditional-british/ PaperSizes, '''‘foolscap’''' is an alias for '''foolscap folio'''.]</ref> This was a traditional [[paper size]] used in some parts of Europe, and the [[British Commonwealth]], before the adoption of the international standard [[A4 paper]]; France for instance traditionally used writing/typing paper known as 21-27 (210 x 270 mm) until 1967.
A full (''plano'') foolscap<ref>[https://paper-size.com/size/foolscap-imperial-sizes.html PaperSize, '''‘Foolscap’''' Paper Size Dimensions, Imperial.]</ref> paper sheet is actually {{cvt|13+1/2|xx|17|in|sigfig=3}} in size, and a [[folio (printing)|folio]] sheet of any type is half the base sheet size.
