Move Footnote text above Footnotes after Conversion

hidden.platypus · 10-10-2016, 02:16 PM

I've been doing this more and more recently.

Converting a textbook or whitepaper that has footnotes so I can read on my tablet.

I notice when Calibre converts a book from docx it puts [<- 1] (1 being the footnote number) and then the footnote text below it.

Footnote text doesn't show up on Google Play Books. Only the [<- 1] shows up in the pop up. If I move the text above the [<- 1], then all the text shows up in the pop up including the [<- 1].

I recently did a book with 103 footnotes. That was not fun. Moving all the footnote text manually above the [<- 1]

Is there a way to move the footnote text to above the [<- 1] via regex or some other method?

Appreciate the assistance.

Note: popups will work on Moon+ Reader irrespective of whether the text is above or below the [<- 1]

There's no automated way of doing it. Though you might be able to cook up something with the funtion mode search and replace features in the editor. Why not just use a better EPUB reader on your tablet?

I'll explore both methods.

Thank you.
