Hi,
apologies for the slightly silly example, but I hope it shows my
problem: from processing an xml file, I have material which is best
typeset in some sort of table environment (I think). It also has some
sort of sectioning mechanism which is displayed as margindata. If you
typeset the example, you can see that these margindata are aligned to
the bottom line of the table. Is there any way to make them align to the
top? Bonus points if they are aligned with the content of the first
table row (and not with the top border of the table).
Thanks and all best
Thomas
