OK, I thought of another one after I posted:
* FrameInside/FrameOutside (or FrameLeft/FrameRight, if other settings
switch inside/outside to left/right) - Similar to
FrameAbove/FrameBelow, this would basically be a way to define in a
Paragraph Style that a reference-page graphic is to float out of the
text frame to the inside/outside (left/right) of the paragraph to which
the style is applied.
I could have used such functionality SO MANY TIMES with various
admonishment styles (e.g., caution) or form-creation tricks (e.g., Done
checkboxes nextt to major steps in a procedure).
Yes, one can hand-place an anchored frame each time to do that, but
it's annoyingly manual.
Yes, one can do a monochrome 'bullet' of some type (ding) with
auto-numbering tricks.
But if you want a multicolor graphic every time, floating automatically
to the appropriate side, without hand-placing them each para... no
option (of which I'm aware).
Not sure if that's "scriptable," per se. Perhaps as a "burst" of
automatically inserted, anchor-framed graphics prior to publish...?
Again: Awesome way to volunteer!
