margin.note.float.type Select type of float for margin note customizations
none

## Description

Selects the type of float for margin notes. DocBook does not define a margin note element, so this feature must be implemented as a customization of the stylesheet. See margin.note.properties for an example.

- If margin.note.float.type is `none`, then no float is used.

- If margin.note.float.type is `before`, then the float appears at the top of the page. On some processors, that may be the next page rather than the current page.

- If margin.note.float.type is `left` or `start`, then a left side float is used.

- If margin.note.float.type is `right` or `end`, then a right side float is used.

- If your XSL-FO processor supports floats positioned on the `inside` or `outside` of double-sided pages, then you have those two options for side floats as well.
