I need to add marginal notes to a two column layout in XSL-FO
(I am using Antenna House)
And in general this works well using floats
<fo:change-bar-begin change-bar-class="CBP-{generate-id()}"
change-bar-offset="5mm">
<fo:float float="outside">
I am facing two issues now
1. The float="outside" works well in a one column layout to put my
notes in the left margin on even pages and the right margin on odd pages
However I can't seem to figure out how to put margins on the left
for the left column and on the right for the right column
I think you might be out of luck, but I would experiment by
implementing the columns as two flow areas of one column each instead
of one flow area with two columns. I just cannot readily recall what
"inside" and "outside" are w.r.t. arbitrary flow areas.
And I haven't looked up the Antenna House extensions.
2. In my XML a set of lines make up a paragraph, the "lines" are
numbered and I need the "number" in the margin
Sometimes 2 "lines" start on the same physical line in the column
and the marginal notes in the side bar are printed at the same location
Is there a way to fix it in a way that a second float is printed
below the first when both are on the same height?
I have been playing with markers but ca,t get any pleasing result
Have you tried the clear= property? I think you have a copy of my
book (or the free preview on my web site) ... check out the diagram
in Chapter 7, Section 2, "The interaction of blocks and floats".
I hope this helps. Please forgive me for not taking the time to mock
up examples to test myself.
