Oh, I WISH I had Framemaker... But this might be interesting. Setting up margin notes in InDesign is considered to be an "Intermediate to advanced feature." It may well be possible to have more recurrent structured elements in Framemaker, but I would suggest that only TeX and friends can do something like structured recurrent text elements that might vary according to anything more than a trivial algorithm.
I dunno. \inmargin seemed pretty simple to me... I think that my designer may be jealous. ;-) On Mon, 2008-06-30 at 10:53 -0600, Idris Samawi Hamid wrote: > Dear gang, > > There has been some discussion on the list lately comparing ConTeXt with > InDesign.
