+ | Q: I'm working on Satan is a Socialist and I have a question about sidebars. This text uses a number of sidebars (usually just one sentence) to highlight main points in the text. I know our normal workflow is to move sidebars to the end of a section, but because these sidebars emphasize the text immediately above it I'm worried that taking them out of context will make them seem jarring. Should I move them to the end of a section, or is there another approach I should take? Thanks for your help! | ||

+ | Q: We Rise Again has a number of pages styled completely different than the main pages (see example below). I've been styling them as secondary content in text boxes. Is this the right approach? If it is, should I include the image inside the text box as well? If I do, it will mean the text box can't all fit on one page. Thanks! | ||

+ | A: Yes. Include the image. Remember you can also resize the image to fit it on the page. If this does not work then put the term Aside in the heading and I will manually code them during conversion. I will also place a ticket into DAISY to see if this issue can be fixed. | ||
