In the message you sent to docbook-apps on 15 October, you explain how you have failed in using floating sidebars to display a chapter number icon in the margin (at the outside edge). It is possible that a solution involving floats could work. In fact, it's the only mechanism available for placing content on the "outside" of left and right pages. However, it seems a bit awkward to use <sidebar> in the source document in order to output the floats; it would be more appropriate to let a customized stylesheet handle that. But first you need to make sure that your FO processor supports floats. I presume that you use FOP (from the message you sent on 1 October), which means that you are out of luck. FOP does not support floats. See http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-object-float. So if you can, try another FO processor. XEP is a good choice. Mauritz
