Dear Sarah,
I'm glad to have dropped by the list in time to see your instructions for
validating a book with footnotes. The book I'm three fourths finished with
has between 30 and 55 footnotes per chapter and the chapters average about
ten pages each.
I noticed the footnote numbers are immediately after the period in the
sentences. I thought that since there were no spaces in the print book
between the period and number that I should leave them as is. If you think
it improves the book to insert a space after the period, I'll be more than
happy to do so.
Oh, and I'm not sure if those numbers are officially footnotes in the case
of my book. They refer to several pages after the end of the text which list
them by chapter, as the numbering starts at one at the beginning of each
chapter. After the number the author and page number of the source material
on which the fact was based is written.
Given this information, do you still suggest that I insert the spaces after
the periods? I'll be glad to do it as I am lucky enough to be able to work
on a quality line rather than a time line!
Always with love and appreciation,
Lissi

Sorry, I'm a bit confused by your message, but I don't think you should be
removing the copyright info for the individual stories. May I ask why you
decided to do that? If you were asking about the numbers that seem to be
for footnotes? I would leave them in, but make sure the numbers have a
space between them and surrounding words. I would also make sure there is
a blank line between the story text and any footnotes.

Katie:
I am probably behind on this one I am sure since I am just home. However,
I had this problem. It is a number to identify a footnete.
Now I have one, and I hope the answer does not mess me up. I am
validating a book with stories in it. Everytime I get to a new stoffy
there is a description of the author and then the story begins. It too
has 1 right up next to the title of the story and then after the
description of the author on the following page is I believe what is
referred to. There is a copyright date for the story and after that is
the regular header for the page. I have been taking out the number and
also the copyright info on the stories (not the book). Am I doing this
wrong? Sure hope not as I am getting toward the end. Will go back and
fix if necessary, but hose I don't have to.
