Footnotes
A region that gathers footnote text, as a per-page footer or an endnotes list.
A Footnotes region collects footnote text. In a Layout it is a per-page footer that gathers the notes whose markers landed on that page; in a flow's content it is an endnotes list that gathers every note above it.
Fields
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
counterStyle | string | The counter style for the note numbers and their inline markers. Defaults to the document's numbering style, or decimal. |
restartEachPage | boolean | Restart the footer's numbering on each page, so every page reads 1, 2, 3 rather than a count that runs the whole document. It applies to a per-page Layout footer, where the inline markers renumber to match; an inline endnotes list does not restart. Off by default, so notes number continuously. |
repeatHead | boolean | Whether the leading content repeats in every page's footer. Defaults to repeating for a per-page Layout footer and showing once for an inline endnotes block; set false to show a Layout footer's head on its first page only. |
Example
A footer region in the Layout, so footnotes gather at the foot of each page that carries one.
<Layout id="page" :width="793.71" :height="1122.52">
<Flow>
...
</Flow>
<Footnotes />
</Layout>Usage
In a Layout, a <Footnotes> is a per-page footer that gathers the notes whose markers landed on that page. In feed content, it is an endnotes list that gathers every note above it. Format renders it as an <aside data-type="footnotes"> of <dl data-type="footnote-entry"> notes, each a footnote-number term and a footnote-content definition; style them through their data-type hooks. Wrap a <Yield> to set a heading or rule above the list, and set counterStyle to format the numbers. Add restartEachPage to a footer region to number the notes on each page from one, instead of continuously through the document. If the Layout has no <Footnotes>, Format adds a footer to each page that has a note.
