memoir's sdecaption

[Zarko Cucej]

Hi!

In two side text I like to use sideacption wider as it is set by default
to marginparwidth. This is easily to obtain with changes of values in
the macros \setsidecaps and \sidecapfloatwidth. Since the picture in
figure always start at left text border, on the even (verso page) pages
a caption text is over page border. Is there a way to push a picture to
the inner text border automatically (and with this move a caption text
inside of page) or even better to force the caption text will start on
the outer page border followed by box for picture? For example with some
extension of sidecaption environment?

Regards, Zarko

minimal example for demonstrate of the problem:

\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{calc}

\setlength{\marginparsep}{10mm}
\newlength\fsep
\setlength\fsep{2\fboxsep+2\fboxrule}

\captionnamefont{\small\sffamily\bfseries}
\captiontitlefont{\small\sffamily}
\setsidecaps{\marginparsep}{2\marginparwidth}
\renewcommand*{\sidecapfloatwidth}{\textwidth-\marginparwidth-\marginparsep}
\sidecapmargin{outer}

\begin{document}
some text some text some text some text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some text some text some text some text
some text some text some text
\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{sidecaption}{Side caption x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

x x x x x}[fig:1]
\framebox{\parbox{\textwidth-\fsep}{\centering FIGURE}}
\end{sidecaption}
\end{figure}

this might do it

\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{calc}

\setlength{\marginparsep}{10mm}
\newlength\fsep
\setlength\fsep{2\fboxsep+2\fboxrule}

\captionnamefont{\small\sffamily\bfseries}
\captiontitlefont{\small\sffamily}
\setsidecaps{\marginparsep}{2\marginparwidth}
\renewcommand*{\sidecapfloatwidth}{\textwidth-\marginparwidth-\marginparsep}
\sidecapmargin{outer}

\strictpagechecktrue%

\newcommand\ADJUSTMENT{\checkoddpage\ifoddpage\else\raggedleft\fi}

\begin{document}
some text some text some text some text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some text some text some text some text
some text some text some text
\begin{figure}[h]

\ADJUSTMENT

\begin{sidecaption}{Side caption x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x x x}[fig:1]
\framebox{\parbox{\textwidth-\fsep}{\centering FIGURE}}
\end{sidecaption}
\end{figure}

\newpage
some text some text some text some text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some text some text some text some text
some text some text some text
\begin{figure}[h]%\hfill

\ADJUSTMENT

\begin{sidecaption}{Side caption x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

\framebox{\parbox{\textwidth-\fsep}{\centering FIGURE}}
\end{sidecaption}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

perhaps we should add something like this to memoir itself. I'll mail
Peter Wilson.
