I had first looked for information because I am interested to add this feature to the converter I usually use. I now think it would be maybe easier - and quicker - to add it as a complementary feature, triggered by a plugin.
When you look at the Calibre code, it seems that some fixed tags or attributes have been added to the usual return links. If some expert was so kind as to look at it, he could tell us if this transformation could be made easily -or not.
On this thread you'll find an example of the Calibre code used for a pop-up endnote. |
Huh????
Popup footnotes/endnotes are pretty simple.
There is an EPUB3 standardized form.
Otherwise you don't get them, at all.
Some ereader applications perform heuristic checks to try to find footnotes and make them pop up.
calibre does, and so do the most recent Kindles.
It is pretty simple to get the Kindle to recognize footnotes -- as long as there are matching backlinks to/from the footnote to the main text.
IIRC, calibre uses the same general heuristics.
