[xep-support] Problem combining maginalia and other material

[Dave Thomas]

Hi, folks:

I'm fairly new to this, so I'm probably doing something stupid.

I'm creating a book layout, and I need to support marginalia—stuff
that floats in the outer margin next to the main body text.

I used the example of marginalia on the tips and tricks page, and it
works great for the regular body flow. However, it seems not to work
when I use rx:flow-section, and it gets seriously confusing when I try
to float things out of list bodies. It's almost as if list bodies and
flow sections don't inherit the overall flow indent.

I've posted a simple example here: https://gist.github.com/769838

It is cut down from the RenderX example, but adds a two-column
rx:flow-section at the end of each page. The results are shown here
https://skitch.com/pragdave/re8m1/w.pdf-page-1-of-2 and
https://skitch.com/pragdave/re8mu/w.pdf-page-2-of-2

Notice how the flow-section itself ignores the start-indent, but the
blocks within it do not.

What I'm trying to achieve is to have the section line up with the
body text block, and the columns to set themselves up within that.

Is that achievable? What am I missing?

Thanks


Dave
