I recently scanned one of my favorite non-fiction books, OCR-ed it, and made an Epub in Sigil which I later converted to Mobi in Calibre. This book has a lot of footnotes, and I was frustrated that they weren't linked.
I originally used the format of [*1-01] instead of a superscript, because I mistakenly thought I could just highlight it and search for another occurrence of the unique footnote number. That didn't work at all - I'm not sure where I even got the idea that it would.
So today I extrapolated some code to link my footnotes (I don't know HTML coding) and I managed to get them all properly linked. There were probably close to 200 and I tested each one.
On Kindle I will use the back button to return to where I was reading after visiting the footnote. Does the Nook and Nook Tablet have the same back functionality?
I decided to read the ePub version of it on ADE, which as far as I can tell does not have any "back" function... which is very frustrating.
Could someone please tell me in simple terms exactly what I would add to my code to be able to return the the original link location after reading a particular footnote?
Using Sigil, this is the code I used in the chapter text to make it a hyperlink to the appropriate footnote. (This is for the first footnote in the first chapter):
Quote:
|
<a href="#fn1-01">[*1-01]</a>
|
And this is what I added at the start of the actual footnote:
Quote:
|
<a href="#fn1-01">[*1-01]</a>
|
Thank you in advance for any advice!
