awoke and found it truth:[1]--I am more zealous in this affair, because I have never yet been able to perceive how anything can be known for truth by consecutive reasoning [Footnote 1: [blank line] /*[*** a blank line between footnote tag and opening no-wrap is REQUIRED.] "She disappear'd, and left me dark: I waked To find her, or for ever to deplore Her loss, and other pleasures all abjure: When, out of hope, behold her not far off, Such as I saw her in my dream, adorn'd With what all Earth or Heaven could bestow To make her amiable." */ [blank line] /* <i>Paradise Lost</i>, Book VIII. */ ]

Poetry in footnotes

Formatting poetry in a footnote is like doing it in any other place. The attribution is right-justified in the image, so enclose it in no-wrap. Some post-processors prefer the attribution and the poem to be in separate no-wraps, as shown here, while others prefer them to be in the same no-wrap (as shown in other examples). So, check the project comments and discussion, and if this hasn't been covered, ask for guidance.

Ignore a stanza's leading quotation mark when indenting its other lines. (Don't indent them by an extra space.) No blank line between closing no-wrap tag and closing footnote bracket, but they must be on separate lines.
