    Hello Oliver,

    In XSL FO you can have different page masters for odd and even page
    (see description of fo:conditional-page-master-reference). This allows
    you to change page format depending on its parity.

    As for margin notes (also known as 'marginalia') those are created in
    XEP with side floats using XEP-specific values 'inside' and 'outside'.
    Here is an example:
    http://xep.xattic.com/xep/testsuite/usecasestest.html#marginalia

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards,

    OB> Hello,

    OB> it seems there's no construct in XSLFO to define different contents in the
    OB> region-body of a page for even and odd pages.

    OB> For example I want to have special blocks that extend the normal block
    OB> width. These should be vertically aligned on the inner side of the page:

    OB> +----------+ +----------+
    OB> | xxxxx | | xxxxx |
    OB> | xxxxx | | yyyyyyyy |
    OB> | yyyyyyyy | | xxxxx |
    OB> | yyyyyyyy | | |
    OB> | xxxxx | | |
    OB> +----------+ +----------+

    OB> Or suppose one wants to create margin notes or icons next to a definition,
    OB> example, or note. These should be positioned left from the text on left
    OB> (even) pages and right from the text on right (odd) pages.

    OB> Do I miss something in XSLFO? (This could well be.)
    OB> Does XEP provide an extension for this?

    OB> Any pointers will be welcome.

    OB> Thanks,
    OB> Oliver
