A note is different from a section because it's similar to a link (in the text) to an anchor (in a piece of text outside the 'main flow'), but there is no an <a> link, but a visual link made with a symbol like a superscript number or letter, an arrow, etc put both in the 'main flow' text and at the beginning of the note. So we should use a solution similar to lists <ol> <ul>, that automatically sets the position (foot, end, side, etc.) and the symbol for each note. ____________________________________________________________________________ Lorenzo De Tomasi, student of Information Architecture, Interface Design and Visual Design via Bellaria 6, 21018 Sesto Calende (Varese), Italia phone: +39 (0)331 924649 mobile: +39 329 3941065; +39 333 8979304 e-mail: lorenzo.detomasi@libero.it; lorenzo.detomasi@email.it website: http://biografica.tzone.it ICQ uin: 11313132 Yahoo!
