I am having trouble adding text (one or a few words) to the left margin of a page.

The result should be like the text in the margin in the answers here (without the brace). But with the difference that the text should not be vertically centered. The text should simply be placed in the margin at the first line of the paragraph chosen.

My goal is to have small keywords in the left margin next to the top line of every fact box I have. My fact boxes are made like this:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}    %Character set
\usepackage{tikz}               %Circles
\usepackage{tcolorbox}          %Colored boxes
...
\begin{document}
Some text
Some text
\begin{tcolorbox}[width=\textwidth,colback=yellow!30!white,colframe=white,sharp corners]    
    This is a fact box
\end{tcolorbox}  
Some text
Some text
\end{document}

  • You want to have keywords next to your fact box, but placed at the top? So is it next or top? – Alenanno Jun 15 '15 at 09:20
  • @Alenanno I have clarified that it should be in the left margin next to the top line of every *fact box* I have. Thank you. – Steeven Jun 15 '15 at 09:25
