   �|Description:�%
The   defaults   for  the   \marginnote   markup   can   be  modified   with
\marginnoteformat.

�|\position�% by default places the margin note in the margin.  You can have it
placed in the right margin by specifying:

\marginnoteformat{right}

�|\notewidth�%  is the width  of the area in  the margin used  for printing the
margin note.

�|\notegutter�% is the  width of the area between the  margin note and the left
margin of the text.

�|\everymarginnote{Nested Markup}�% can be vertical mode markup such as \right-
ragged, \leftragged, \justify, and font changes.

   �|Example:�%
Change the margin notes so they  print in the right margin in a 7 point font
with a margin note width of 46 points.

\sfs{cm7}{sevenpt}{default}
\marginnoteformat{\position{right}
      \notewidth{46pt}}
      \notegutter{1em}
      \everymarginnote{\sevenpt\rm} }
