Figures and tables are put where they appear in the source
(location “h”), regardless of their placement arguments.
HEVEA wraps them in BLOCKQUOTE elements that are associated
with CSS classes figure and table respectively. Figures
and tables are separated from enclosing text by two horizontal rules
(CSS class floatrule). If the capabilities of floatrule
prove insufficient users can create their own separators by defining
the parameter-less macro \floatseparator, like for example,
\newcommand{\floatseparator}{\begin{center}\ast\end{center}}
or even drop them completely by supplying an empty expansion and thereby recover the original LATEX layout.
Captions and cross referencing are handled. However, captions are not
moved at end of figures or tables: instead, they appear where the
\caption commands occur in source.
The \suppressfloats command does nothing; the figure related
counters (such as topnumber) exist but are useless.
The basics of footnotes are discussed in section B.3.3.
HEVEA puts the text of every footnote in a block associated with
CSS class footnotetext. The rule that separates the body text
from the footnotes can by styled with CSS class footnoterule.
Marginal notes go in the right margin by default.
To get marginal notes in the left margin, use
\reversemaginpar.
Marginal notes are handled in an HEVEA specific way.
By default, all notes go in the right margin.
Issuing \reversemarginpar causes the notes to go in the left
margin. Unsurprisingly, issuing \normalmarginpar reverts to
default behaviour.
The \marginpar command has an optional argument.
\marginpar[left_text]{right_text}
If optional argument left_text is present and that notes
go in the left margin, then left_text is the text of the
note. Otherwise, right_text is the text of the note.
As a conclusion, marginal notes in HEVEA always go to a fixed side
of the page, which side being controlled by the commands
\normalmarginpar (right side) and \reversemarginpar
(left side). This departs form LATEX that selects a default side
depending on the parity of the page counter.
Marginal notes are styled by the means of two environment style
classes (see Section 9.3) :
marginpar and marginparside.
The latter marginparside takes care of margins and placement as
a float, its value is marginparright for notes in the right
margin and marginparleft for notes in the left margin.
Users are not expected to alter those.
The marginpar environment style class governs the general
aspect of all marginal notes.
Users can control the aspect of all marginal notes by defining a new
style class and assigning the marginpar environment style
class.
For instance, to get all marginal notes in red font,
and taking 10% of the page width (in place of the default
20%),
one can issue the following commands in the document preamble.
\newstyle{.mynote}{width:10\%; color:red;}
\setenvclass{marginpar}{mynote}
