[Feature Request] Export PDF/HTML with original text and notes in the margin as a single document

[shombando]

It would be great to have an export option (pdf/html) to export the original text (with highlights) and along side the notes in the margin (ha!). The margin width could be an user settable variable but maybe 20% is a good starting point?

This would allow easily reviewing a document and send it to someone who is not an emacs user while maintaining rich context.

Great package, keep up the good work!

Thank you for your interest and kind words.

Tired an export feature. Some detail in the Org-roam Discourse forum.

It will need to be something I come back to in May or so in the new year (2021).

I will think about a side window feature. Not necessarily familiar with the Emacs features around window management, so if you know some Elisp, it might be quicker if you tried (PR or your own private config).

Thank you again 😄

Thanks for the reply and the discussion link. Yes, footnotes would be a good feature regardless of whether the side by side margin export is implemented as I described.
I don't know any elisp yet but I'm looking forward to learning from the upcoming System Crafters YouTube series on it. Maybe this will be a feature I'll play with, I'll update this issue if I get anywhere!

Good luck with 2021, early happy new year!
