1. Vertical spacing between marginpars
2. Several marginpars on a line
I am interested in keeping a running count of sentences in a document in the margin. I'd like, for occasions in which there is more than one sentence on a line, to be able to put more than one marginpar on that line. Is there a way to concatenate marginpars, so that it may say 1,2,3 or, even better, 1-3 in the margin? John Burt
3. some marginpars to left, some to right
4. Vertical placement of marginpars
Marginpars normally are placed on the baseline. Does anyone know how to move them all up a point from the baseline? thanks John Burt
5. Marginpars that go into the textblock?
6. Floating Marginpars: Solutions?
I want to create a document in Latex where images, tables, etc. appear
in the margin (unless, if they are very wide). However, I ran into two
major problems so far:
1. I couldn't find a class that has the layout that I want out of the
box:
a) The paper size should be smaller than A4 (I will print the document
on A4 and then have it cut). It should of course be less tall than
A4 because of the large margins that are needed.
b) The structure of the document should be similar to that of report.
c) The document is not a technical manual but a scientific text, so
the class refman doesn't have the look that I want.
Maybe I should just use Koma-Script and adapt it to my needs. But
this is a lot more work than using a class that supports wide margins
for example by a simple switch. Any ideas?
In case I need to follow the Koma-Script trail: Does anyone know of
any nicely composed books whose layout I could use as a template?
2. The marginpars have to be placed manually, i.e. Latex doesn't check
whether there is enough space in the margin. I illustrated this problem
in the example below. What I need are some kind of floating marginpars
or, even better, some kind of floating objects that get placed in the
margin if they aren't too wide, and otherwise get placed into the main
text area. Do any solutions exist?

Example:
\documentclass[a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{capt-of}
\usepackage[normal,footnotesize,nooneline]{caption2}
\begin{document}
Page 1
\vspace{20cm} % Instead of much text
bla bla bla (see figure \ref{fig1-1})
\marginpar{[SOMEFIGURE]\captionof{figure}{\label{fig1-1} This margin par should
be moved up or moved to the next page.}}
