Extending into the margin
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0ed499139c984ed1c5c6312376a707e5.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I have a double-sided page layout with mirrored margins. For certain displays (tables, etc) I would like to place a box such that it will extend into the margin. At the moment, just by making a box the width of the textarea + margin, I can get what I want half the time :-) - it always extends to the right, and on half of the pages that is what I want! Of course the trick is the other half. If I explicitly move the boxes left, then the right-hand pages stop working properly. And I'm in a batch workflow so I can't know in advance what page a box is going to land on. So I guess I need a hook into the double-sided margin settings somehow? I haven't managed to find anything that looks relevant in the docs, so thanks for any help! Duncan dh@capdm.com
