baseline of sidenotes off

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The side/foot notes are slightly off to the bottom. I added

    \leavevmode%

in l646 of tufte-common.sty of r86 to move the sidenotes up on the same 
baseline as the text. 
l624 has the command in \@footnotemark instead of \@footnotetext. 

This breaks the handout example layout, l159 of sample-handout.tex has a 
vertical offset.

Oops, that was too quick. The first line of a sidenote does not move with the 
offset value any more. If the 
sidenote has more than 1 line the others do move up or down. strange...

'Normal' Latex does the same.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage {lipsum}

\begin{document}
  \lipsum[1]
  \marginpar{\vspace{0pt}\lipsum[1]}
  \lipsum[2]
\end{document}

misaligns the text in the margin.

\begin{document}
  \lipsum[1]
  \marginpar{\lipsum[1]}
  \lipsum[2]
\end{document}

does not.

Try putting \hbox{} in front of the \vspace{#1} line.  It appears to fix the
alignment in the test document, but I haven't tested it further than that. 
(Currently working on putting captions alongside the figures/tables.)

The hbox almost does it, but leads to a line skip. A \vspace*{-1\baselineskip}% 
after the font is changed to 
footnote font skips one line back up.

It is now (starting l644 in r86):

\renewcommand\@footnotetext[2][0pt]{%
  \marginpar{%
    \hbox{}% NEW
    \vspace*{#1}%
    \def\baselinestretch {\setspace@singlespace}%
    \ifthenelse{\boolean{@tufte@loadbidi}}{\if@rl@footnote\@rltrue\else\@rlfalse\fi}{}%
    \reset@font\footnotesize%
    \@tufte@margin@par% use parindent and parskip settings for marginal text
    \vspace*{-1\baselineskip}% NEW
    \noindent%
    \protected@edef\@currentlabel{%
       \csname p@footnote\endcsname\@thefnmark%
    }%
    \color@begingroup%
       \@makefntext{%
         \ignorespaces#2%
       }%
    \color@endgroup%
  }%
  \@tufte@reset@par% use parindent and parskip settings for body text
}%

\marginnote should behave the same way I believe. 

l704 of tufte-common.sty r86 is now

  \marginpar{\hbox{}\vspace*{#1}\@tufte@marginfont\@tufte@justification\vspace*{-
1\baselineskip}\noindent #2}%

First, I was not sure if the offset given in lets say [-3\baselineskip] should 
skip margin lines or text lines 
(margin lines are smaller). But skipping in text lines makes alignment easier 
and, therefore, provides a cleaner 
look.

I think I've caught all of them, but please double-check for me.  I just 
submitted
the code in r87 (alongside some major reworking of figure/table environments and
their captions).

The sidenote alignment looks good to me now.

Great!  I'll mark this as FIXED then.
