See http://w3c.github.io/dpub-pagination/#footnotes Interspersing section headings and comments... 13. Footnotes ------------- 0. Nice quote. 1. Is it useful to add a non-normative reference to DocBook? (But if it is, does that make it also useful to add a non-normative reference to David Foster Wallace?) 2. Should the paragraph beginning "Footnote handling as described in [css3-gcpm]..." be a note in the manner of the note in Section 13.4, Numbering? 13.2 At the foot of what? ------------------------- 3. Figure 19, Inline footnotes, with footnotes in the middle of the page, illustrates what Section 13.2 is saying. 13.3 Breaking footnotes across pages ------------------------------------ 4. Does 'avoided' need to be qualified, since you've written several times about having nothing but footnotes at the end of a page sequence? 13.4 Numbering -------------- 5. You don't define 'the usual numbering schemes', and figures 19 to 21 illustrate four numbering schemes between them: - alphabetic, continuous within chapter (fig. 19) - based on line number in scene (fig. 20) - alphabetic, restarting each page (fig. 21) - numeric, restarting each page (fig. 21) 6. I don't understand the intent of the comment beginning "Digital publications often render footnotes differently from print." Anything that starts from markup can take liberties with the presentation of the markup, and I've rendered footnotes as endnotes and endnotes as footnotes for print at various times, as well as collecting different sets of footnotes into separate files in EPUBs.
