1) I put tags in the DVI file which allow me to place marginal material
at (exactly) the same height, during post-processing. In DVI it is easy
to place a PUSH, make a skip, typeset the material and then POP back to
the previous position so that the rest of the page remains unchanged. I
guess this will be harder in PDF.
i do that in pdf by using pdfsavepos cum suis (just calculate the delta
between several positions and then move the material)
2) I calculate the height of lines so that I can detect whether a page
is shorter or taller than the normal. This is very useful to prevent
accidents.
In a more elaborate project I split my DVI page into lines (lines of
text, of translation, of footnotes of translation and of one or more
critical apparati) and I re-assemble these lines into double pages, by
letting the critical apparati flow under the footnotes, ad by keeping
parallelism between text and translation. This works fine with DVI,
maybe everyline can become a BT...ET section in PDF and I can get the
same result.
that can be done by looping over the nodelist and manipulating hlist nodes
