Page Layout ⇒ overlapping of text and notes in each even page

[abclatex]

Hi all,

The below codes (which help to put the footnotes at the bottom of margin) can work well in oneside article, but not in twoside book. There would be overlapping of text and footnotes in each even page because the footnotes appear on the right side instead of at the margin of each even page.

I read them word by word, but cannot figure out how to fix it. Thanks for any suggestions.

I don't know know where you have the code from but it does not seem to be your own. If it were you knew that it explicitly places the notes to the right and does make any decisions depending on odd and even pages. I only took a quick glance through so I'm not sure where to patch the code right now. Unfortunately it isn't documented at all!

Maybe you should ask the author of the code if he can provide a patch for you?

Regards
