That is, is it possible to output floats only on > left-hand pages? the simple answer is more or less. basically if your float style for right hand pages would not allow any float areas than consequentually you would have only text there and floats only on the left and/or text. but float pages could interfere in therory not directly supported by this scheme would be a design that would only allow floatpages or empty pages on one side, but if that is something worth having once could probably accommodate for that as well --- is that what you are asking? > (iii) A generalization could be to let text (and floats) flow through > an arbitrary page number pattern (useful for critical editions?) it would be interesting to come up with a spec for this. basically what would be missing for something like this is a way to control float pages. right now the algorithm doesn't control them at all, i.e. it tries to built them the moment there are enough floats and would output them anywhere. so to get to such an extension one would need to think about how to specify how float pages could be controlled. frank
