[xep-support] different layout in region-body for even/odd pages

[Lars Weinrich]

Hello Alexander,

I have a similar problem but the use of margin notes does not solve it.

The job is to create a document which consists of tables.
Depending on the position of these tables (even or odd page) some table-columns have to be swapped.

Is this possible using XEP?

Many thanks in advance,

Lars Weinrich
