Description

Hi folks,

I know it is implemented in tufte_handout2 but is it possible to also implement aside tags in html_document2, pdf_document2 and word_document2 ?

If not, is there a current hacky way to do that?

It is a really useful feature and I think it would be amazing to have this available in as many formats as possible.

Thanks a lot

Research direction

Start by examining the existing aside-tag implementation in tufte_handout2, then compare how html_document2, pdf_document2, and word_document2 handle the requested formats. Check whether a current workaround is documented or available. Done means aside tags work across the requested formats, or the supported limitation and workaround are clearly established.
