As a name for footnotes, endnotes, and marginalia (sidenotes) that's free from presentational baggage, "annotation" (or "anno") might be a good choice. I guess plain "note" might also, except that a note can also be a type of admonition (along with a warning, etc.), displayed in the main text flow. And along with being presented as marginalia, footnotes, and endnotes, each annotation might also be displayed in a separate pop-up window (not numbered and collected as footnotes/endnotes). --Mike -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
