So I took a look at Amazon's document, and it's interesting. My ePub is ePub3, created by Pandoc. And it does footnotes like this:
Code:
<p>Here is footnote ref coming up<a href="#fn1" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref1" epub:type="noteref">1</a></p>
And here is the footnote itself:
Code:
<li id="fn1" epub:type="footnote"><p>Here's the text of the footnote.<a href="#fnref1" class="footnote-back" role="doc-backlink">↩︎</a></p></li>
You can see there are matching forward and back links. I don't see any discrepancies with Amazon's documentation, except that the back-link is at the end of the footnote instead of at the beginning, and they don't use a li tag, just a plain p for the footnote. Perhaps I'll try to create an epub2 from Pandoc and convert that and see if it does anything different with the footnotes. Anybody have enough experience with this stuff to see something I'm missing?
