Are my problems over now, or are they just beginning?
I had a mind to put the footnote material IN the text because it seemed so cumbersome to code, but this looks nice. |
There have been other threads on this
with no perfect answer.
1) Since readers do not have a 'page foot' support, foot notes can end up at the end of a chapter (does this work if you don't break on chapters?). Endnotes are at the End of the book,right?
1) Conversions will probably be a mess no matter what you choose
1) Readers don't have balloon (help) notes. Inline kind of breaks up the smooth 'read'
(note: all the 1's
) what every you do, you lose
Why the 'Spec' people have not addressed these kinds of issues by now totally eludes me. We are on the 3rd generation of EPUB fer crin' out loud.
Are these people still using Just CRT's and Paper? Because the design does not seem to consider e-ink (screen refresh) and handhelds (orientation and Aspect ratio) in general.
