The footnotes are separated from the rest of the node by a line of dashes with the word ‘<samp>Footnotes</samp>’ within it. Each footnote begins with an ‘<samp>(<var>n</var>)</samp>’ reference mark. <p>Here is an example of the Info output for a single footnote in the end-of-node style: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">--------- Footnotes --------- (1) Here is a sample footnote. </pre></div> </li><li> <span id="index-Separate-footnote-style"></span> In the ‘Separate’ node style, all the footnotes for a single node are placed in an automatically constructed node of their own. In this style, a “footnote reference” follows each ‘<samp>(<var>n</var>)</samp>’ reference mark in the body of the node. The footnote reference is actually a cross-reference which you use to reach the footnote node. <p>The name of the node with the footnotes is constructed by appending ‘<samp><span class="nolinebreak">-Footnotes</span></samp>’<!-- /@w --> to the name of the node that contains the footnotes. (Consequently, the footnotes’ node for the <samp>Footnotes</samp> node is <samp><span class="nolinebreak">Footnotes-Footnotes</span></samp><!-- /@w -->!) The footnotes’ node has an ‘Up’ node pointer that leads back to its parent node. </p> <p>Here is how the first footnote in this manual looks after being formatted for Info in the separate node style: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">File: texinfo.info Node: Overview-Footnotes, Up: Overview (1) The first syllable of "Texinfo" is pronounced like "speck", not "hex". … </pre></div> </li></ul> <p>Unless your document has long and important footnotes (as in, say, Gibbon’s <cite>Decline and Fall …</cite>), we recommend the ‘<samp>end</samp>’ style, as it is simpler for readers to follow. </p> <span id="index-footnotestyle"></span> <p>Use the <code>@footnotestyle</code> command to specify an Info file’s footnote style. Write this command at the beginning of a line followed by an argument, either ‘<samp>end</samp>’ for the end node style or ‘<samp>separate</samp>’ for the separate node style. </p> <p>For example, </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@footnotestyle end </pre></div> <p>or </p><div class="example"> <pre class="example">@footnotestyle separate </pre></div> <p>Write a <code>@footnotestyle</code> command before or shortly after the end-of-header line at the beginning of a Texinfo file. (You should include any <code>@footnotestyle</code> command between the start-of-header and end-of-header lines, so the region formatting commands will format footnotes as specified.) </p> <p>In HTML, when the footnote style is ‘<samp>end</samp>’, or if the output is not split, footnotes are put at the end of the output. If set to ‘<samp>separate</samp>’, and the output is split, they are placed in a separate file. </p> </div> <hr> <div class="header"> <p> Previous: <a href="Footnote-Commands.html">Footnote Commands</a>, Up: <a href="Footnotes.html">Footnotes</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Command-and-Variable-Index.html" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> </body> </html>
