Line 1:

'''Foolscap folio''' (commonly contracted to '''foolscap''' or '''folio''' and in short '''FC''') is [[paper]] cut to the size of {{convert|8+1/2|xx|13+1/2|in|0}} (for "normal" writing paper, {{convert|13|xx|8|in|abbr=on}}). This was a traditional [[paper size]] used in Europe and the British Commonwealth, before the adoption of the international standard [[A4 paper]].

A full foolscap paper sheet is actually {{convert|17|xx|13+1/2|in|0}} in size, and a [[folio (printing)|folio]] sheet of any type is half the standard sheet size or a subdivision of this into halves, quarters and so on.
