\n asks for a click. Write it immediately before the paragraph, list or block it annotates, and it comes out level with that block's first line; before a heading it sits above the heading instead, a heading carrying more room over it than the block before it leaves. A second note written soon after the first stacks under it, so a long note pushes the next one down the margin and away from its own block. It reaches the margin through any box that doesn't clip \u2014 a section, a tab panel, a disclosure; written inside one that does, a choose group or a board or a table, it is drawn nowhere at all, and `page check --render` refuses the version rather than letting it ship. It stands there where the window holds the strip beside the column, and beside a sidebar, which takes the margin first; the column moves left to make the room. Elsewhere, and on paper, it is a small indented block where it was written, so nothing it says rests on the margin being there. A suggestion's accept and reject controls hang in the same margin, level with the change they decide, and are drawn over a note that stands level with them: write the note a paragraph clear of a change if its first line has to be read. These are the page's own words, so the user can select, quote and comment on one. A stable id lets Alt-click point at the whole note. The margin holds about fifty-six characters to the line; a note running past a few lines wants to be a paragraph in the column instead.","example":"\n`, with `role=\"img\"` and a `` stating its claim. Its marks take classes whose paint is theme tokens, so the drawing follows the light and dark palettes: `.frame` and `.frame-head` for a window or pane and its header, `.line` (`.soft`) for a line of text, `.box` (`.hot` for the one that matters), `.highlight`, `.ghost` for where something would be, `.guide` and `.dim` for alignment and dimension lines, `.arrow` with `.tip` (`.hot`) on its marker, `.mark` for an accent dot and `.glyph` for the character on it, `.ok`, `.warn` and `.danger` fills, and `.strong`, `.small` and `.mono` for text, which is muted otherwise. Without a `width` it fills its figure; give a thumbnail one. A mark particular to the subject takes a page-local class on the same tokens.","example":"<figure id=\"sidebar-width\">\n <svg class=\"drawing\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 120\" role=\"img\" aria-labelledby=\"sidebar-width-t\">\n <title id=\"sidebar-width-t\">The sidebar takes 240px left of the column \n \n \n \n \n 240 \n \n In a narrow window the sidebar returns to the column. \n "},"table":{"description":"Rows of one shape, compared column by column: ceilings per plan, runs per configuration.

` it breaks inside its cell where it must, so a column of them takes a share of the measure beside the prose; bare, it holds its column to its own width and squeezes the rest to a word a line, and `page check --render` refuses a table that scrolls sideways with a cell in it wrapped. `` names a row in the page's own voice; a bare ` ` is a column heading, set in small caps as one.
