Hello,

I would like to know if ezpublish deals with footnotes (I did not find any clue about it) and if it's possible, how does footnotes works with ezp.

If ezp does not handle footnotes, what would you advise me for simulating footnotes ?

Regards,
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,
Im not quite sure what you are after, but possibly all you need to do is add a footnotes attribute to whatever class you want footnotes on (eg an article)?
If this is what you are wanting to do, then you may need to add some custom templates for adding/editting the footnotes dependant on your requirements.

Hope that is of some help.

For example, with the CMS SPIP ( http://www.spip.net/ ), if I write

According to Gartner Institute[http://www.igc/study/bla_bla_bla.html], the Franch economy is raising up...

I would have as a result :

According to Gartner Institute[1], the Franch economy is raising up...

and at the bottom of the page :

[1] http://www.igc/study/bla_bla_bla.html

Same as in books, articles, etc.

Do you see the point ? and how can I do it with eZp ?

Good question - how does one do footnotes in EZ?

I have wondered about the same think myself - let me know if you found a good solution. I would also like to be able to import footnotes into EZ and have them work as clickables...

It can't be done without a custom template operator.

I personally consider footnotes on the web to be quite evil though, it's against everything the web was built for (links should be where they are referenced, not some place else).
