1. Footnote example 1.png In forumtopic:24017, lucy24 wrote "Sometimes you'll meet projects where you are asked to position the footnote exactly where it was in the original: before, after or between words. But this isn't one of those cases; the following semicolon makes it unambiguous where the footnote marker belongs, so close up the space just as you would if the footnote marker weren't there. (Unless the Project Comments specifically say not to, in which case you're safer posting in the Project Discussion thread.)

"Yes, you delete the existing parentheses. Those are footnote-anchor parentheses, not "real" parentheses serving some function in the text. More often you'll see footnote anchors followed by a single close-parenthesis, and if you ever get into Post-Processing you'll be glad those are taken away, because they send the Mismatched Bracket Checker into hysterics."

See forumpost:260931, part of forumtopic:20191. note that parens are removed and each footnote is treated as a separate paragraph.
1 First footnote blah blah


2 Second footnote blah blah

3. Footnote example 2.png See forumtopic:24575. Note that each footnote is treated as a separate paragraph, even though there is more than one note on a line in the original.

Note also that parens around footnote numbers are converted to square brackets.

Marks[1] asserts that this state is
impossible. Banks[2] responds that 
it could occur, while Jenks[3] cites 
actual instances.

1. A case where a multi-paragraph footnote continues across a page break. At the bottom of 423.png:

Example-foot-1.png
And at the bottom of 424.png:
Example-foot-2.png

This example is taken from "Travels in China". See discussion in forumtopic:24115.


The footnote text on 424.png makes clear that it is a continuation of the footnote on 423.png. However the first line of the continuation ("Who could escape....") is indented, showing that it is the start of a new paragraph of a multi-paragraph footnote.


As per standard guidelines, the footnote continuation is indicated by *[Footnote: ....]. As for the paragraph break:

  • Option 1 is recommended by megani and uses a [**note] to alert the post-processor to the existence of a paragraph break at the beginning of the footnote continuation.
  • Option 2 and some variants also mentioned in the thread use blank line to indicate the paragraph break. This is the treatment recommended by garweyne and mroe.
(Option 1)

[Footnote A: ....
of the Emperor, this sentence was mitigated to that of his being allowed to be his
own executioner. A silken cord being sent as an intimation of this mark of the Emperor's
favour, he caused himself to be strangle by some of his attendants.]*


(on the next page)

*[Footnote: [**new paragraph]
Who could escape when the Emperor of China is himself the accuser? It will readily
occur....]

(Option 2)

[Footnote A: ....
of the Emperor, this sentence was mitigated to that of his being allowed to be his
own executioner. A silken cord being sent as an intimation of this mark of the Emperor's
favour, he caused himself to be strangle by some of his attendants.]*
