Dear all, I am trying to set up a layout for part of my daughter's thesis. She has a portion of a long middle English poem to present as an 'edition'. The lines are incremented on every seventh line starting at 302 according to the manuscript she is using. Is there a way to reference words from particular lines using the line number as the footnote number? The first line of the poem is 302 Could the footnote read 302 lande (in bold) : an open grassy space in a forest 305 boures (in bold) : a chamber or dwelling and so on. Could the footnotes be in two columns? I notice that footnotes are ignored if line numbering is on. I am at a loss here. Also \inmargin is ignored also. Any help would be appreciated. I have attached an input file and the resulting pdf. ******************* Charles Doherty, Early Irish History, School of History, John Henry Newman Building, University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4 Tel: +353 1 716 8381
