The footnote looks like this:

<p id="mah0002107" class="footnotes"><a href="part0015.html#mah0004586" id="mah0002108" class="calibre5"><sup class="EBsup">1</sup></a><em class="calibre7">Rwywbbh</em> huive zh lof. Bcq ozllz md Upqdn coxcvk ewyd ks Oyoun ucl gicp pqsottdyv dy Zdyfxgp 32 (Vggsbg 5).</p>

It will show up as a footnote if you move that ID attribute from the A element over to its parent P element:

<p id="mah0002108" class="footnotes"><a href="part0015.html#mah0004586" class="calibre5"><sup class="EBsup">1</sup></a><em class="calibre7">Rwywbbh</em> huive zh lof. Bcq ozllz md Upqdn coxcvk ewyd ks Oyoun ucl gicp pqsottdyv dy Zdyfxgp 32 (Vggsbg 5).</p>

Unfortunately I'm not sure if there's an easy way to automate that, and there are hundreds of footnotes.

There's probably something available in Node for example that'd allow you to write out a new file after performing a transformation like this

const footnotes = document.getElementsByClassName('footnotes');
// for each footnote
footnote.setAttribute('id', footnote.firstChild.getAttribute('id'));

Or as a regular expression, something along the lines of:

<p id="([a-z0-9]*)" class="footnotes"><a href="[a-z0-9]*\.html#[a-z0-9]*" id="([a-z0-9]*)"

And then you have to replace the first group by the second group…

The second would probably be easier to do, but either way I'm not sure if there's a user-friendly way to do it. Suggestions on nice GUI apps welcome.

I don't understand the second way, but I understand the first way like this (picture 1):

Copy red underline from <a, replace yellow underline of <p with it and delete the X red, then we have <p with blue underline. This one will show in-page footnotes.

Since I notice the red underline of <a exists in <p as well, I can just cut red underline of <p and replace yellow underline of <p with it, then we have the same final <p with blue underline (picture 2). This way we don't have to look at <a at all. Are these all right?
