<para>The styling for margin notes.
By default, margin notes are not implemented for any
element. A stylesheet customization is needed to make
use of this attribute-set.</para>

<para>You can use a template named <quote>floater</quote>
to create the customization.
That template can create side floats by specifying the
content and characteristics as template parameters.
</para>

<para>For example:</para>
<programlisting>&lt;xsl:template match="para[@role='marginnote']"&gt;
  &lt;xsl:call-template name="floater"&gt;
    &lt;xsl:with-param name="position"&gt;
      &lt;xsl:value-of select="$margin.note.float.type"/&gt;
    &lt;/xsl:with-param&gt;
    &lt;xsl:with-param name="width"&gt;
      &lt;xsl:value-of select="$margin.note.width"/&gt;
    &lt;/xsl:with-param&gt;
    &lt;xsl:with-param name="content"&gt;
      &lt;xsl:apply-imports/&gt;
    &lt;/xsl:with-param&gt;
  &lt;/xsl:call-template&gt;
&lt;/xsl:template&gt;</programlisting>
