sidenotesplus – Place referenced notes, alerts, figures and tables into the document margin

Sidenotesplus is a comprehensive package for placing labeled or referenced notes, temporary alerts, bibliography references, figures and tables into the margin. Marginals can be either floated or at fixed positions relative to the text. Twoside symmetry is preserved. For BibLaTeX users, macros for side references are provided.

Three margin styles are provided. Two-page symmetric layouts either as (i) Ragged outer with note reverences in the margin separator or (ii) justified with last line ragged outer. And (iii) a classic look, justified with last line ragged right and note reference to the left of the note, but two-page symmetry is lost.

The command \sidenote mimics the \footnote command and provides labelled (numbers, alphabetic, roman) references. However, un-numbered and custom symbols can also be specified.

Temporary sidealerts are rendered only if the package option alerton is specified. Alerts are useful as to do reminders during document development.

Furthermore, captions for figures and tables can also be placed into margin. Also, full width environments for figures, tables and text are provided. The text environment can be partially widened, suitable if that extra space for an equation is required.
