Figures and tables are put where they appear in source, regardless of
their placement arguments.
They are outputted inside a BLOCKQUOTE element and they are
separated from enclosing text by two
horizontal rules.
Captions and cross referencing are handled.
However captions are not moved at end of figures: instead, they appear
where the \caption commands occur in source code.
The \suppressfloats command does nothing and the
figure related counters (such as topnumber) exist but are useless.
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}
