Your package does allow figures to move into the margin and captions to be placed on either side. But it does not appear to tackle the major problem, which is: How to get figures (of all widths) to justify to a boundary several cm outside the text edge. George
Hi George,First, I did not write the sidecap package; I only wrote a LyX module to better integrate the functionality of the LaTeX package within LyX.
Second, there is a sidecap package option, "wide", which let the figure extend into the margin. Unfortunately, there is hardly any documentation about the sidecap package. I do not know how to customize this very well. But the attached LyX file use this option and the "innercaption" option to achieve something close to what you want, I think.
Make sure you have sidecap.module somewhere where LyX can find it. Best of luck, Julien
