Usage

[edit]

For use with works with sidenotes where the works are transcluded from the Page: namespace.

These templates display sidenotes to the left and right as displayed when in the Page namespace, though when the pages are transcluded to the main namespace, the sidenotes are 'all displayed on the left hand side of the page. Uses a <span> for formatting.

Pages with original notes on left hand side use {{outside L}}

{{outside L|Special sidenote to display}}{{lorem ipsum}}

Notes

[edit]

Note - The use of this template has elements of complexity due to the requirement for the technical placement of text relative to other text

PAGE: namespace

When set within the Page: namespace, the use of {{sidenotes begin}} and {{sidenotes end}} within the header and footer, respectively, is recommended for display purposes.

MAIN namespace

When transcluding to main namespace, the following formatting is recommended

<div style="margin-left: XXem">
<pages your transclusion details as Wikisource:ProofreadPage />
</div>

where XXem = depth + padding; so 10em for default usage
