Adds the option to create sidenotes on Indiesign
Adding a built-in option to create side-notes in Indiesign, such comments that come next to the text where they are numbered. In addition, there will be control over whether to insert a separator between them and the main text, as well as control of the numbering style, and the paragraph or character style applied to them. Adding or subtracting one comment will update the number and position of the other comments, and if one comment goes beyond the page boundaries - move its content to the next page.
Also, the designer should be given the choice of three options -
1. A note corresponding to its numbering in the main text.
2. Side-aligned notes aligned towards up.
3. Side-aligned notes towards down.
And the option to pin the notes to the outside of the page, or to the spine.

4. the ability to export the side notes as part of the story (after the end of the paragraph) or as a second story for side notes (and footnotes) -

This feature would be an excellent tool for efficient type setting. Side notes or marginalia are common in school books, Bible, encyclopaedias etc.
Side notes should be created automatically based on Character or Paragraphs Styles, the behaviour should be similar to anchored frames but with more options and solutions for overlap and text frame margins. It is also very popular solution for pull quotes in editorial design.I use marginalia three different ways:
1 – as short summaries or headlines (sometimes with text wrap)
2 – as footnotes (requires automatic numbering)
3 – as liturgical notes in Bible (this is more complex, the notes may appear on both sides and they represent notes, links, subheads...)
