Re: [NTG-context] Help with typesetting footnotes in an HTML document

11 Apr 2023

      Fair comment Denis.

I decided to try the lookup based approach on pages 85 - 86 of the xml 
manual and my setups are based on those pages. I have to admit that I 
find the xml manual a wee bit difficult in places since xml is outside 
my expertise. I attach my tex and html files which should save some copy 
and pasting.

Thanks

Hard to tell, if you don't show us what you've tried so far.
In one of my setups I use the lua based approach described on page 86/87. But again, we'll probably need more information to figure it out.

Betreff: [NTG-context] Help with typesetting footnotes in an HTML
document
Hi,
I have been puzzling over how to typeset footnotes in a HTML document,
most elements have been relatively easy to typeset but I'm stumped with
footnotes.  I have been studying the the xml manual in particular Chapter  7.4
Cross Referencing, but I'm still struggling to get xmlsetups which come
anywhere near working. Any hints  to a solution would be greatly
appreciated.
Best Wishes
Keith McKay

glass broken in the frames, and a row of shops that included a chippy and a
betting shop soon replaced them, betting ‘off’ licensed race-tracks having
become legal in 1961.<span class="footnote"><span class="footnote-
