Align margin notes with document title

[mdahirel]

Description

Hi,

I would like to set margin notes so that they start at the same height as the title, rather than the main text, and I'm wondering if there's a built-in way to do that that I missed in the documentation.

(minimal example below, the actual use will be for a CV where the margin notes are used to highlight some skills, and the default way to display them leads to unwanted whitespace)

Cheers

title: this is an example

::: {.column-margin}
some stuff to put in the margin

here is some text to put in the main body:

- element 1

- element 2

I don't think there's an easy way to do that right now, but you can try to hack it the old-fashioned latex way, by adding a rawblock like `\vspace{-3em}`{=latex} (you will likely need to tweak the amount of spacing)

Yeah, I expected so. Thanks for the suggestion, works perfectly!

You might want to try the flowfram package, it lets you define frames at specific locations. I used it for posters with quarto (minimal example here).

Thanks for the suggestion, this looks good! I will have a look at the possibilities later, for now I went with the simpler suggestion by @cscheid
