Hi Doug,
What you show here looks fine to me. I don't see anything that needs
changing. I'm assuming that the footnotes/endnotes at the end of the book
are labeled just as these are #1 #2 etc? If so, I don't see that you need
to do anything. I wouldn't for instance, put a space between the #1 and the
word/punctuation mark that it follows. What you have here looks fine to me.
Happy proofreading!
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] a question about formatting footnote references
I am proofing a book called Financial Peace Revisited by Dave Ramsey. It is
a nonfiction book about personal finances. I have run into a place where he
quotes a number of sources and denotes them with a # followed by a number.
This refers to the footnotes at the end of the book.
I need some help to know how to format this. Here is an example from the
book.
short years.#2 A recent survey conducted by Consolidated Credit Counseling
Services found that 71 percent of Americans say debts are making their home
lives unhappy.#3 A recent study in The Wall Street Journal states that 70
percent of the American public lives from paycheck to paycheck.#4
Interestingly, a Marist Institute poll published right after that Wall
Street Journal article stated that 55 percent of Americans "always" or
"sometimes" worry about their money.#5 If 70 percent are broke and only 55
percent are worried, I guess the other 15 percent are asleep.
Thanks for any help!
-- Doug
