Footnotes
So currently the best practice for footnotes is to treat them as endnotes and either have them at the back of the book as "endnotes" or and the end of each chapter. And then have pagebreak before and after set to always so that each one appears as it's own entry
Is there a way I have the footnotes in a separate file, which does not show on scroll through? See attached sample test... (ignore obvious typos haha was rushed) |

Another approach in some books I have worked with is to end each chapter's text with a block with return to table of contents, previous chapter or next chapter, just in front of the end notes.
You can get a little better response time from the ereader if you aren't jumping in and out of sections. This, of course, depends on the ereader. |

Oh... I just tested the epub on iPad
I'm an idiot... So, it turn out, the footnotes DO show in scroll through from ADE but DO NOT show on page flip through in iBooks, with linear="no" That is the only alternative... Thanks guys Stupid ADE had me all confused |
