Hi Charisma and everyone!
I have not scanned or proofread books with sidebars yet, but I would do it
like this, because this is my particular style:
[sidebar]
The text of the sidebar here.
[End of sidebar]
I would also be sure that there is a full sentence before and after the
interruption the sidebar makes so that it's not so disconcerting and makes
sense while reading.

Thanks for the reply. smile
Is this a standard approach to sidebars? Because it does not set them
apart in the audio book I have been reading. All of the sudden the
text--while related--interrupts the current sentence and then reverts
back to the sentence when the sidebar or insert is over.
Is there a way to make sidebars and inserts stand out in audio that
would not be wrong for Braille?
You know, as confusing as this can be, it is sort of like a puzzle we
are winkling out, figuring what works for both types of readers! Like
solving a mystery or something!
