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

That HTML code looks legit to me.  Can you try 
these variants and see if any of them work in all the browsers?

 

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

 

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

<p>Variant 2:  earth occur in 
Australia.<a id="d0e490" href="" 
class="footnote"><sup>[1]</sup></a> More 
...</p>

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?

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>.
