Textbox anchored inside another textbox, can it reflow?
Hi everyone,
I am trying to figure out the best way to achieve something. I'm working on a 500+ pages book. The idea is to have titles outside of the original text frame. That in itself is quite easy to achieve, we'll all agree, with a separate smaller text frame that is positioned outside for the title and link the text frames together with threading.
Now comes the interesting part which makes it more complicated. I want to achieve two more things:
1. I need it to be reflow-proof, as some inserts or additions will probably come in at a later stage
2. I need it to be able to export well as an epub later on as well as be printed in offset printing.
In order to make it reflow-proof, I was thinking I could ad the (autosizing) text frame with the titles as inline anchored objects with specific spacing before and after the anchored object. The problem is that it is an object then and I can't seem to link the main text frame with the inline anchored text frame and then out of it again… which leeds to the second part of what I want to achieve… will the text set this way keep the right structure when I export as epub later on?
As an added difficulty, pages have a narrower spine, so left pages need to align the titles left outside the main text frame and right for the right side pages (right page illustrated below).
Do you guys have any idea how to achieve this?
