Re: Problems with heads using margintext alternative

[Rik <rik@panix.com>]

Willi, Pablo, and list,

Willi,

I understand that the overprint of the margin can be managed by changing 
the default layout. The left margin box displayed by \showframe using 
the default layout clearly shows the margin extending past the edge of 
the page.

I would think that the default layout should be usable as is, which for 
this purpose means that the defined text areas are contained within the 
page boundary. If the default layout is not intended to be usable, it 
should be so documented. I will gladly update the wiki if this is the 
case, but first I would like authoritative confirmation that this is the 
case.

Indeed, the extra line before the text occurs only when inter-paragraph 
whitespace is set and start/stop is used. This does indeed appear to be 
something that can be repaired.

Pablo,

The \inmargin commands do suffer from the same problem; you need simply 
change marg  to marg marg marg to see it. The problem is not that text 
is set outside the margin. It is all set in the margin. The problem is 
that the left margin is laid out over the page edge, and text set in the 
part of the margin that is off the page is lost.
