Re: [alreq] Section on Footnotes and Endnotes

I reviewed some books, looking for interesting footnotes.

Here’s an example of bidirectional footnotes:

Here’s an example of multi-line bidirectional footnote:

And use of superscript for footnote numbers:

Adib Soltani’s “The Manual of Book Preparation” has a very interesting section on footnotes and endnotes, including these two pages that showcase a number of examples for numbering footnotes (I added English translations in color):

![correct-numbering-2](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/531910/26588339/4c3f46b8-456a-11e7-81b8-e896b4c60bf1.jpg)


In the books that I saw, all-Latin footnotes were always written from left to right and use European numbers. I could not find a single exception. Adib Soltani’s “The Manual” even instructs so.
