FAQ: Marginalia position

Q: We have books with marginalia. However, the marginalia text exported by BatchXSLT for InDesign appears at top or bottom of the main text.

A: Marginalia should vertically flow with the main text. To achieve this, anchor the marginalia box at the proper text position and give it the desired position offset. Anchored boxes behave like a single character and therefore their text content is output at the anchor position. Use the same anchoring procedure for images which must be at a certain text position.
