Hi,

Thanks for your help. Your solution works but I need more "fine tuning" on
this background.

So, I'll explain in more details the structure of my layout.

The idea is that the pages are presented side-by-side. Visually we
have 4 columns.
- The last one (right, on the right page) is the main text.
- The third column (left, on the right page) is used for the figures (images,
graphs, diagrams, etc.)
- The second column (right, on the left page) is used to discuss some
points of the main text. Like advanced stuff, debate, historical notes, etc)
- The first one (left, on the left page) have some light gray background
and is an area for FAQ about the topic.

The title of each double page is on the right page, aligned with the
left column of the right page.

The second column (right, on the left page) may have a title defining
the topic of this column.

Regards,

Antoine
