I asked about a mechanism to allow tables to extend into the outer
margin, in a double-sided layout. Hans said:

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.

at normal width.

Thanks again for any pointers. Will put the solution on the wiki once found!

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!
