I asked about a mechanism to allow tables to extend into the outer margin, in a double-sided layout. Hans said:
see the manual "details.pdf"
Thanks - I think I now almost understand how I would do this for *floats*, but... my question was (perhaps) simpler - I'm just talking about fixed blocks of text in the main flow. In fact, things that must not float from where they are called. I can't see how to apply details.pdf to something that isn't a float, and it strikes me that the answer might be simpler? So is there any way of saying: -- Right hand page -- Some running text at normal width. A wider block of text which runs into the outer margin(in other words, extends right on right-hand pages and left on left hand ones). Back to running text at normal width. -- -- Left hand page -- Some running text at normal width. A wider block of text which runs into the outer margin(in other words, extends right on right-hand pages and left on left hand ones). Back to running text at normal width. -- Thanks again for any pointers. Will put the solution on the wiki once found! Duncan dh@capdm.com
