Name

margin.note.properties — Attribute set for margin.note properties

Synopsis

<xsl:attribute-set name="margin.note.properties">
  <xsl:attribute name="font-size">90%</xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="text-align">start</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

Description

The styling for margin notes. By default, margin notes are not implemented for any element. A stylesheet customization is needed to make use of this attribute-set.

You can use a template named “floater” to create the customization. That template can create side floats by specifying the content and characteristics as template parameters.

For example:

<xsl:template match="para[@role='marginnote']">
  <xsl:call-template name="floater">
    <xsl:with-param name="position">
      <xsl:value-of select="$margin.note.float.type"/>
    </xsl:with-param>
    <xsl:with-param name="width">
      <xsl:value-of select="$margin.note.width"/>
    </xsl:with-param>
    <xsl:with-param name="content">
      <xsl:apply-imports/>
    </xsl:with-param>
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
