I suspect that PDF's output from InDesign can be configured to show footnotes on the bottom of printed pages. If it were merely a matter of changing CSS between versions, that would be more manageable (although I guess you could make the text for asides hidden via css for non-ibooks epubs). You can’t have both footnotes and endnotes in the same document, but you can convert all notes in the document from one type to another. A document can contain footnotes, which appear at the bottom of the page, or endnotes, which appear at the end of the document or a section. The semantics for all three ebooks seem to be different, so maintaining three separate ebooks seems to be a pretty amount of work. Use footnotes and endnotes in Pages on iPad. I guess you would also need a simple epub where all the notes go to a final end notes chapter. I personally would wait until the Kindle Formatting Guide provides a specific supported mechanism for footnotes before you start messing around with popups.īut if you can easily manage one epub for ibooks and another epub for the current stable of Kindle devices, that should last you a while. Having a list of notes at the end of the book which you can link to directly from the text which will then point back to the text itself is probably the safest method you need. It does look pretty messy though.īy the way, from that thread is the interesting remark that the editing part of Calibre seems to support making footnotes. (This thread is 3 pages long, and basically offers a way to have it work in e-ink devices as well as kf8).

If you clear overrides and character styles on a paragraph that includes a footnote reference marker, the footnote reference numbers lose the attributes you applied in the Document Footnote Options dialog box. Place the insertion point at the beginning of the footnote text, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS), and choose Insert Special Character > Markers > Footnote Number.

If you accidentally delete the footnote number at the start of the footnote text, you can add it back. If you copy the text to a different document, the footnotes in that text use the characteristics of the new document’s numbering and layout appearance. When you cut or copy text that includes the footnote reference number, the footnote text is also added to the clipboard. You can also select and change the appearance of the footnote reference number, but the recommended method is using the Document Footnote Options dialog box.

Select the appropriate choice on the Context menu, which should either be Convert to Endnote or Convert to Footnote (depending on what you right-clicked on).
