Hi,
I'm looking to typeset a book in Hebrew. I want to do the following
things:
1) Have the main text in one column on the inside of the page (towards
the binding)
2) Have footnotes of the main text at the bottom of the page
3) Have a second (different) set of footnotes for the main text in a
column on the outer side of the page
4) The columns should be flexible to bend around the text depending on
length, etc.
5) The numbering of the different sets of footnotes should be
different styles.
I have a attached a sample of what I want to do for the columns. It
does not have footnotes at the bottom of the page, though I would want
those, too.
Hi, Justin,
It's possible someone will be able to answer this question here, but you
will do better, I suspect, to ask it on some LaTeX forum or other. This
is not something LyX will help you do directly. You will first need to
use suitable LaTeX packages to allow for different kinds of footnotes.
The bigfoot package might help with that, I think, and I'm attaching a
module I wrote once that uses it. But I have no idea how to get one type
of footnote to appear in a separate column. Perhaps there are some
packages designed for typesetting critical editions that could be used
to do this.
So you first have to figure out how to do it on the level of LaTeX.
That's why I said that, while it's possible someone here will know about
this, it's more likely someone will know at the LaTeX forums on Stack
Exchange or, most likely, on the comp.text.tex Usenet group.
