\section{The Example}
|

|
|
\label{sec:example}

This document uses the Tufte handout \LaTeX\ document style. This is
|
||
|
|
specified by the use of the document class as
|
||
|
|
\Verb|\documentclass{tufte-handout}|.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Tufte-\LaTeX\ document classes define a style similar to the
|
||
|
|
style Edward Tufte uses in his books and handouts. Tufte's style is known
|
||
|
|
for its extensive use of sidenotes, tight integration of graphics with
|
||
|
|
text, and well-set typography.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of the most prominent and distinctive features of this style is the
|
||
|
|
extensive use of sidenotes. There is a wide margin to provide ample room
|
||
|
|
for sidenotes and small figures. Any \Verb|\footnote|s will automatically
|
||
|
|
be converted to sidenotes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here is an example of a margin table, suggested by Felix Sch\"onbrodt
|
||
|
|
\Verb|<nicebread@gmx.net>|. I am not sure about its usefullness in
|
||
|
|
practice however. Note that \Verb|latex.environments = ""| avoids the
|
||
|
|
default option of tables being centered, which in this example would
|
||
|
|
lead to the caption not being directly under the table. Most
|
||
|
|
importantly, \Verb|table.placement = NULL| is required to ensure that
|
||
|
|
the default table placement options \Verb|[ht]| being inserted after
|
||
|
|
\Verb|\begin{margintable}|. This is necessary because the margintable
|
||
|
|
environment does not allow placement options like \Verb|[ht]|.
