Hi Daniel,
I don't know of a solution, but you might ask on
the Mulberry XSL-List, since this is not a DocBook-specific problem. That list
has a lot of experienced people on it.

Subject: [docbook-apps] sidebar
margin-top, margin-before
I have a set of formatting requirements, and part of that
requirement is that the side bar float to the outer edge of the paper (double
sided print).
The issue is, there is a box that protrudes from the
header in the top corner of the outer edge, so when the sidebar is the first
thing on the page, part of it runs under that box.
A way to solve this
is the add a space before the sidebar that ensures it will start below that
box. Problem with that is that there can be a large space when the
sidebar is NOT the first on the page.
Is there a way to define a margin
what will only appear when the item is FIRST on a page (I know you can do it
the other way around and then set "retain" to keep it at the top).
If
not, is there a way to set up a conditional margin depending on recto/verso
placement? (use 12pt marin on verso, 18pt on recto)?
From my
experience the answer to the above is NO, but I thought someone might know of
a way.
FYI, I am using Antenna House.
Thanks in
advance.
