Combination of margin-note and inline-note not very pretty
I have been unable to achieve a combination of margin-notes and inline-notes that looks quite like I want (see the green box in the picture below, which I added manually). Perhaps I am missing an option to the library, or you do not mean to support such usage?
#import "@preview/drafting:0.2.2": margin-note, inline-note
#let t = [
#table(columns: 2,
[asdf],
[foo],
[bar],
[baz],
)
]
#v(0.5fr)
#margin-note[#t][table looks awkward and noisy]
#v(1fr)
#margin-note[#inline-note[#t]][Would be nice just to have the table outline like in the table to the left]
#v(1fr)
#inline-note[#t]
#v(1fr)
In general, #inline-note(par-break: false)[it would be nice to have an inline note option that would merge lines together into a single box, with multiple lines merged.]
#v(1fr)
#inline-note[But not like this, where the box is just a single large rectangle, but kind of "hugging" the content. The
par-break option is clearly meant for this, but it doesn't really help as seen above.]
#v(1fr)
#v(0.5fr)
Hi, thanks for raising the issue.
I would aggree that the green box does nicer - would you mind sharing the source for the green box? (or maybe you're even open to creating a PR?)
Regarding the wrapping of tables, I will try and investigate if it is possible to make the line wrapping less weird. Maybe we should just wrap all figures this way, in order to standardize it.
I would love to contribute, but unfortunately I drew the green lines by hand, using a PDF editor :/ It's my second day with typst, so I am a complete beginner.
Thanks for your quick and helpful response. If I come up with a solution once I am more experienced with typst, I'll be sure to provide a PR.
Thanks for clarifying, I was really interested as how you had managed to draw such a box in Typst, as it is not (to my knowledge) possible without a lot of hacks.
I will see if it is possible to wrap entire figures and omit the text highlighting within them.
What are your thougths, @ntjess?
