How would one go about implementing tufte-css?

I really like the look of tufte-css, available at github, but feel a bit intimidated about implementing it using Blot and the available templates. Does anyone have suggestions?

(A dream would be if it became an available template out of the box…)

This is me who asked the question. I just found jekyll-theme-tufte, and I guess I could use Convert a Jekyll template to Blot. 😅

Ok… that was tougher than I optimistically thought for a moment. I think it is outside my abilities. /OP

I'll take this as a request for a template! I do convert templates from Jekyll to Blot every so often, and I'll make a note of this one

Thank you! It is really a quite nice template, would also fit Blot very well. :-)

Has anyone got this working? Or have any suggestions on how to implement it? https://edwardtufte.github.io/tufte-css/

From what I remember of Tufte-css it's virtually classless but has a specific spin on "aside" placement of footnotes. I don't think that blot allows to do anything with the footnotes on template side, but it should be possible to use html tags in text files. I want to look into it, and perhaps create a separated long-read template-view for my https://lev.lc/site .

If David please could point to a piece in docs where markup for the footnotes is mentioned
