Studying the details manual I thought to have found a way to print the chapter number on the margin. Each increase of the chapternumber would move the figure a predefined distance downwards.
Now when using a \def{\dimexpr(\realpageno\rightmarginwidth)} my chapternumber moves down. Replacing the \realpageno with \currentheadnumber the chapternumber is not moving or only after a couple of pages ...
Is there someone who could hint me how to approach this? Please refer to the attached sample file "bleedingchapternumber.tex"
Thanks and regards
Willi
