KOMA-Script

Versatile LaTeX classes and packages

Reine Portfolio-Übung, vollständig selbst entwickelt. Kein offizieller Auftritt – die Website steht in keinem Zusammenhang mit dem LaTeX-Paket KOMA-Script und wird auch nicht von dessen Entwicklern betrieben.

This is purely a portfolio project, developed entirely on my own. This is not an official site—the website is in no way affiliated with the LaTeX package KOMA-Script and is not operated by its developers.

  3. marginnote

marginnote

Marginal notes without the float behaviour of \marginpar — usable inside floats and footnotes.

In LaTeX, the command \marginpar[⟨left⟩]{⟨right⟩} can be used to create a marginal note. It has one drawback though: it creates a special kind of float. As a result, it cannot be used inside floats or footnotes.

The package marginnote provides an additional command \marginnote for creating margin notes. It does not use any floats and therefore avoids the disadvantages of \marginpar. There are however other drawbacks listed either in the user manual or in the issue tracker.

marginnote originated from a question on the TeX-D-L mailing list and some macros that had been written shortly before for a book project. The package was flagged as experimental from the start. An alternative is, for example, the package marginalia.

The package is hosted on Codeberg. See the CTAN catalogue entry for more.

This package is looking for a new maintainer. Support is very limited or no longer available until one is found.
