Remember, I’m a newbie at electronic books. An old programmer (almost 40 years), but this is a new environment for me.
If I may press your patience,
Tex2002ans and
thiago.eec, I think I see several different ideas that I would like to gather together.
Footnote/Endnote identification- For first-level footnotes, I should use Arabic numbers.
- For second-level footnotes, perhaps Roman numbers
- For third-level footnotes, alphabetic is sufficient (there are not many)
Two-thirds of the book is endnotes/footnotes. There is a primary text with the normal short, regular, footnotes; many detailed explanations; and several side-excursions. Some of the detailed explanations and almost all the side-excursions also require footnotes. This explains the document’s complexity.
Many of the references come from Microsoft Word.
<sup id="id_Ref489614211" class="text_6"> is one of these. I assume that I can dispense with these in EPUB and eliminate them to simplify my code?
Calibre converts the document into chapters, appendices, and a great many other divisions that make some sense. Many of the others make no sense. Am I required to follow Calibre’s divisions, or can I reassemble my own? Won’t that disrupt the order of the final product?
Where are these files index_split_000.html, index_split_001.html, …, stored? Do I merge/break/insert/rename within Calibre, or can I export them and deal with them outside Calibre? What is
your normal procedure?
BTW,
Tex2002ans, if you made the Say page for
FEE, I think I used that writing my book, along with a great deal of material from Mises.org.
