<para>If <parameter>footnote.number.symbols</parameter> is not the empty string,
|
|
|
|
|
footnotes will use the characters it contains as footnote symbols. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
<quote>*&#x2020;&#x2021;&#x25CA;&#x2720;</quote> will identify
|
|
|
|
|
footnotes with <quote>*</quote>, <quote>†</quote>, <quote>‡</quote>,
|
|
|
|
|
<quote>◊</quote>, and <quote>✠</quote>. If there are more footnotes
|
|
|
|
|
than symbols, the stylesheets will fall back to numbered footnotes using
|
|
|
|
|
<parameter>footnote.number.format</parameter>.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<para>The use of symbols for footnotes depends on the ability of your
|
|
|
|
|
processor (or browser) to render the symbols you select. Not all systems are
|
|
|
|
|
capable of displaying the full range of Unicode characters. If the quoted characters
|
|
|
|
|
in the preceding paragraph are not displayed properly, that's a good indicator
|
|
|
|
|
that you may have trouble using those symbols for footnotes.</para>
