Hi Jeremias I thought I understood the .fo example you attached, but when I pass your file to fop here the annotations appear on their own line at the left margin and not to the right of the text flow. I have tried a different approach which is OK for certain content types, but which is not working for bulleted or numbered lists. If you process the attached .fo file you will note that the gap between the bullet point and the content is much greater if there is a version on the item. I have tried tinkering with start indents and widths but nothing I do produces a consistent indentation. Can you see what I am doing wrong?

The principle: <fo:block-container> <fo:block-container right="-1.2cm" inline-progression-dimension="1cm" absolute-position="absolute"> <fo:block>123</fo:block> </fo:block-container> </fo:block-container> The first block-container is a normal one. It has zero effective height and is used to create a new reference area to which the child block-container can be relatively positioned (although you actually have to use absolute positioning in FO terminology). absolute-position="absolute" positions relative to the ancestor reference area.
