Question

Footnote area seperator

By default, ID separates between the main text area and the FN area with a horizontal line. Is there a way i can insert a graphic (got some beautiful Gothic separators from Adobe stock!) instead? Also, I would like to add some text to the separator like "Here and below are my FN", Even in Microsoft Word you can do this so I am sure there is a way in ID.

Thank You

Susan

It should be possible to script it:

Excuse my cosmic ignorance but I don't see any option in that dialog box to insert a graphic or text as the separator. Just to change the line style and width.

Am I missing something

>>If you work on a PC - I can quickly add it to my ID-Tasker. 

Yes, I am on PC, but I am not exactly sure what you are offering here...

 

>>BTW, almost finished support for multiple types/kinds of Footnotes - including import from WORD - but for now, they've to be mixed. 

 

Could you elaborate on what you mean by multiple types of FN? Multiple streams? I would be very interested in that. One set of footnotes for Jimm and one set of FN for Jill.

 

There is a Mac program that does this see here https://www.mellel.com/ 

 

I have a friend who did some nice stuff with FN, see here https://www.id-extras.com/products/footwork/ 

which I need but all this is going to cost me sooooo much money....
