Please do not add parentheses around footnote numbers. It adds nothing to
a book and changes the text.
By adds nothing, I mean that it is not needed for improved access and, in
fact, changes the text.

Hi, Bobbie,
I don't know what, if any, the preferred form is. Jake's hints might have something. But here's what I do:
Because I started working with Project Gutenberg, I put the footnotes numbers in parentheses after the sentence if I can. But I admit that if the book is long and boring to me and I don't want to read it as I usually do, I leave them as they are and let the reader do whatever he/she wants to do with them. I don't beleive we're required to do anything, but if I'm actually reading the book as I validate, which I do most often, then I do what I've described above.
If there aren't too many, and they have scanned as very small, I will make them raise them (format, file, font).
You may want to wait to hear from Gerald or Jake, though. smile
Welcome to our volunteer group. smile
