Margin Notes
============

   The command `\marginpar[left]{right}' creates a note in the margin.
The first line will be at the same height as the line in the text where
the `\marginpar' occurs.

   When you only specify the mandatory argument `right', the text will
be placed

   * in the right margin for one-sided layout

   * in the outside margin for two-sided layout

   * in the nearest margin for two-column layout.

   By issuing the command `\reversemarginpar', you can force the
marginal notes to go into the opposite (inside) margin.

   When you specify both arguments, `left' is used for the left margin,
and `right' is used for the right margin.

   The first word will normally not be hyphenated; you can enable
hyphenation by prefixing the first word with a `\hspace{0pt}' command.
