an icon in the margin to identify different types of note.

In principle, you don't need to do this. See below.




If I wanted
to do the same sort of thing starting from DITA, would this be an xslt
tweak?

No. Simply pass parameter use-note-icon=yes to the DITA XSLT stylesheets.

See http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__use-note-icon

If you want to use your own icons:

1) Replace all the PNG icons found XXE_install_dir/addon/config/dita/xsl/fo/resources/ by your own icons.

Make sure to use the same file basenames.

Let's suppose you have a set of *SVG* icons. Now XXE_install_dir/addon/config/dita/xsl/fo/resources/ contains attention.svg, caution.svg, etc.

2) Pass the following parameters to DITA XSLT stylesheets:

note-icon-suffix=.svg

(default value: .png)

note-icon-width=1cm

note-icon-height=1cm

(SVG being a vector format, the dimension of the icon must be explicitly specified. The default value is 7mm x 7mm.)
