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

      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

Here is a snippet of the HTML document with footnotes

not been discovered,’ wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson<span

manifold faces of four pink or lilac petals striated with veins of deeper
lavender are the perfect introduction to flowers for children. So delicate and
yet hardy.</p>

from an unseasonably snowy Austria (‘dieses Wetter ist verrückt!’<span

northern France, and when I come home, it’s to a landscape responding to
substantially increased light levels and temperatures.</p>
   <p class="import-Normal">This was the early sixties. Like many thousands,
we were rehoused from Maryhill in the heart of urban Glasgow to this
peripheral housing scheme which completely changed the character of what
had been a village. Within a decade those glasshouses were abandoned,
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-
