[xsl] Side notes layout in xslt?

["dvint dvint@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Before I start this I'm looking for confirmation this is possible in xslt.I
have a request to produce an instructors version of a training guide as well
as student version. Both will have a wide gutter on the left side when
produced.B  The instructor guide will have instructor notes in this area. I
will be pulling multiple paras into the gutter area, but not filling the
space.Is it feasible to try this in xslt?If feasible, can I make sure the page
breaks are the same in the instructor and student versions? They want to make
sure they can reference page 32 and make sure everyone is looking at the same
page.I'll be producing this from DITA markup.I suggested outputting to
indesign, but they don't want to add more softwareB  so this would be a
straight to pdf transformation.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy
