[xep-support] Marginals in a multi-column document

[Gabriel Flepp]

Hi,

Thanks but sorry, that's not it. I need to place marginalis in a
two-column document. The float="outside" places the marginals on the
outside for odd and even pages. It doesn't work with columns.

This is what I need:
	txttxttxt  txttxttxt
   mar	txttxttxt  txttxttxt
	txttxttxt  txttxttxt  mar
   mar	txttxttxt  txttxttxt
	txttxttxt  txttxttxt  mar
	txttxttxt  txttxttxt
	txttxttxt  txttxttxt

I either need to find out in wich column I am or I have to 
find a function like fo:change-bar wich has a "placement='alternate'"
parameter. But with fo:change-bar I only have bars and no text:(

Regards
Gabriel Flepp
