“If the next content in the sidenote column is an ad box, poll box, or an image, etc., then I try to align it with any horizontally corresponding x-height line of text from the main content column —instead of its baseline.”

Wouldn’t you want to align it with the ascender or cap-height of the main content? I believe that’s what Müller-Brockmann recommends in Grid Systems

Mark,
I’d like to thank you for this and all your other articles. If you’re working on a site design would you actually follow these rules in your photoshop layouts or do you only focus on such things when build time comes around?

I do agree that sidenotes look much better in a smaller font and with a narrower line-height; but I think this is way too ‘fragile’ to maintain throughtout a website!

if you just scale the font-size and the line-height of the sidenote according to your ‘Typographic Hierarchy - size’ article; then the sidenote will match the main body lines every few lines anyhow !

then we can talk about ‘emergent behaviour’ & ‘self-organization’ stemming from a general principle !
