Subject: RE: DOCBOOK: What should a <sidebar> look like?


Some more variations: you might want to pick up content or attribute values
from a marker located in the text flow, and use this information to build a
running header. Or maybe just use the location to pick up information from a
near-by element.

Is any such thing available in DocBook?

Kind regards
Peter Ring

But both marginalia and footnotes are specific layouts for text that
is, semantically, a note attached to some point in the text.  Whether
the rendering of this note shall produce one or the other layout
object is a matter style.

OTOH, I does raise a question about the <footnote> name - it is the
name of a layout item, not of a semantic item, as already shown by the
"end notes" rendering.
