Dear all,
I am facing the challenge of adding marginal notes to a PDF document using FO. I am using Antenna House for this task (though switching to RenderX for this would be an option) The actual note is a number (element "no") inside a paragraph (element "p") I managed to get something out of this using the following simplified example and float="outside" as supported in Antenna House and RenderX as far as I understand. I need the notes in the outer margin, different odd versus even <xsl:template match="p">
<fo:block intrusion-displace="block">
<fo:float float="outside">
<fo:block text-align="right" margin-right="14mm">
<xsl:value-of select="no"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:float>
<fo:block text-align="justify" >
<xsl:value-of select="al"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>I am facing some issues with this - most important issue is that if a "p" overflows a page it intrudes the margin on the next page eg. page one has a marginal note in the right margin for a paragraph near the end of the page the part of this paragraph that goes onto page 2 comes as far to the left as where the marginal notes of the next paragraphs should be. It looks ugly and I don't know how to get rid of that - next issue: the number should be right aligned for the odd pages and left aligned for the even pages Any suggestions? Thanks Geert
