Editing Footnotes

After inserting a footnote, you can edit it in various ways, such as changing the text or modifying the look of the footnote number. You can also specify whether footnote numbering should be restarted at a certain section or chapter.

Footnote Editing Activities

Following are some of the more common footnote editing tasks.

Footnote Styles

The following styles can be used for editing footnotes.

• MadCap|footnote This style is used for both the footnote number (or symbol) where it is inserted in the topic, as well as the number and accompanying comment text (at the bottom of the page, or wherever else you specify its location).
• MadCap|footnoteBlock This style is used for the container (or block) holding individual footnote comments. For example, if you want to add a border around each footnote comment on a page, you would use this style.
• MadCap|footnotesBlock This style is used for the container (or block) holding all footnote comments. For example, if you want to add a border around the collection of all footnote comments on a page, you would use this style.
• MadCap|endnoteBlock This style is used for the container (or block) holding individual endnote comments. For example, if you want to add a border around each endnote comment created from an Endnotes proxy, you would use this style.
• MadCap|endnotesBlocks This style is used for the container (or block) holding all endnote comments. For example, if you want to add a border around the collection of all endnote comments created from an Endnotes proxy, you would use this style.
