Continuous Footnote mark

Question

Hi,I am trying to do this but have no clue how to achieve this. In the attached image, there is a footnote continuation mark, marked with red circle.This mark will appear only of the footnote is continued from next page. How can I achieve this in Indesign? Does any other software does this kind of stuff ? Like Quark Express or Scribus ?Thanks

I don't think it can be achieved automatically - I don't see any option for that in InDesign's Footnote options.

But it can be done manually - Footnote Reference mark is just a marker - and unlike auto-numbered lists - is "movable" - you can insert text before it:

I've manually copied "original" Refeerence marker from the top frame and split the footnote's contents - into two lines - and pasted this original marker and added text before.

And here is text after adding a new Footnote:

The duplicated marker is updated automatically by InDesign.

But as you can see - it will require moving marker and (cont) text again.
