Name

margin.note.float.type — Select type of float for margin note customizations

Synopsis

<xsl:param name="margin.note.float.type" select="'none'"></xsl:param>

Description

Selects the type of float for margin notes. DocBook does not define a margin note element, so this feature must be implemented as a customization of the stylesheet. See margin.note.properties for an example.

  • If margin.note.float.type is “none”, then no float is used.

  • If margin.note.float.type is “before”, then the float appears at the top of the page. On some processors, that may be the next page rather than the current page.

  • If margin.note.float.type is “left” or “start”, then a left side float is used.

  • If margin.note.float.type is “right” or “end”, then a right side float is used.

  • If your XSL-FO processor supports floats positioned on the “inside” or “outside” of double-sided pages, then you have those two options for side floats as well.
