    Possible approach: Two pass, first pass saves start and end position and pages of each environment, on second pass draw the lines based on these saved positions using the background picture of the shipout hooks. All the environment controls of the typeout is the increase of the left margin. Commented Dec 4, 2021 at 14:07
  • Your example image has no top or bottom margin; where would you want the footnote text to go? Will no pages have these margins? I don't quite understand what good wrapping floats in this sort of environment would be. I imagine you want the floats to appear in the indented level they were defined in which seems to defeat the whole point of floating. Commented Dec 6, 2021 at 23:13
  • @Dan for these cases, the environment should behave like the quotation environment. So footnotes should go at the bottom of the page as usual and floats should be placed depending on the placement specifier h/t/c etc. The margins of pages shouldn't matter much for the behaviour and should be user definable.
