At present I style my footnotes as follows:
.note {
vertical-align: super;
font-size: smaller;
padding-right: 2px;
}
<p>
<a name="N1" class="note">1</a>
<note text>
</p>
However, it would be nice to use the OL element so that the footnotes
are automatically numbered in sequence. To do this:
ol li{vertical-align: super; font-size: smaller;}
li p{vertical-align: sub; font-size: larger;}
<ol>
<li><p>note text</p></li>
<li><p>note text</p></li>
</ol>
The problem with this is that the numbers are followed by periods. Is
there any way to get rid of the periods so that the number is
immediately followed by the footnote text?

The Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed., clause 16.25) recommends that
footnote numbers be written as normal numbers, not superscript.
On the web, a footnote reference and a footnote should normally be linked
to each other both ways. For reasons and techniques, see http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/www/fn.html
I mention this because making a footnote number a link is yet another
reason to make it appear in normal font, not as superscript.

I doubt that. It would defeat the linking idea (or at least its natural
implementation) . Moreover, you still have to keep track of the numbers in
the footnote references.

No. Browsers aren't really _supposed_ to put periods after the list item
numbers they generate, but they actually do, and they don't give us a way
to prevent that.

Sorry. My error. Meant "endnotes".
.note { vertical-align: super; font-size: smaller; padding-right: 2px; }

That's true and why I specified "Turabian" in my subject
line. Turabian is a varient of the Chicago style sheet.
On the web, a footnote reference and a footnote should normally be linked to each other both ways.
I do that, but left it out for simplification here. I read your
interesting paper, but don't need the brackets because I name the note
NN and the link back RN. However, it would be nice to use the OL element so that the footnotes are automatically numbered in sequence.

Well, so much for my ambition ;-)

Hello,
I'm a beginner with FOP and I've managed to write a simple layout for my

write the footnotes _above_ the xsl-region-after. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
