Re: [docbook-apps] Superscript footnote numbers in XHTML not formatting correctly
Bob,

    I've viewed this chunk with Firefox 10, Google Chrome 17 and
    SeaMonkey 2.7 - they all show the first footnote the same way as my
    screenshots. Internet Explorer 8 actually shows the left-bracket,
    then *breaks* the rest of the footnote number onto the next line!
    (number and right-bracket). Only IE6 shows the first footnote number
    correctly.

    

    Here is the part of the HTML output:

    

    ... earth occur in Australia.<sup>[<a id="d0e490"
    href="" class="footnote">1</a>]</sup> More
    ...

    

    This is exactly the same output for the next footnote - it seems to
    be a browser problem. Interesting...

Hi Dave,

      
Can you show what the generated
          HTML code looks like?

      
 

      
Does this problem show up in
          other browsers?

          Superscript footnote numbers in XHTML not formatting correctly

        

        

        I am producing XHTML 1.1 files with DB5 1.76.1ns and Saxon 6.5.5
        - regarding superscript footnote numbers in body text, the first
        footnote is not correctly sized to superscript size - the
        footnote number and the closing right square bracket are the
        same size as the body text (whereas the opening square bracket
        is correctly sized). The second footnote number in the same
        paragraph is sized properly. See the attached screenshots.

        I have made sure my customisation layer and CSS file is not
        interfering. I'm using the markup:
        <footnote><para>text...</para></footnote>.
