hallo,

I just tried this and it works nicely, but a couple of questions.

This method doesn't use the official epub 3.0 footnote specification. Is there a particular reason why NOT to use the official xml footnote entity?? What are the differences?

The second problemo is that the pop up footnote kills all html/css formating and displays text as a 'run on' sentence!!

In order to force some sort of formatting I even tried an svg image with text embedded and here ignores the formatting as well!!

The formatting that I am trying to show isn't really difficult, it's a list, is it really impossible to show a list in the footnotes?

I've noticed that after a certain amount of words it creates another line. As a workaround I was planning to use nbsp in order to force it to display the way I want it.

thanks very much.
