I tried a few variations, and noted that with
the default
generated <sup> markup, the problem of a split footnote
number occurs
only with the first footnote in a chunk – subsequent footnotes in
the chunk are
rendered correctly (which is, a smaller superscript number and the
hyperlink
immediately underneath only the number: <sup>[<a
id="d0e490"
href=""
class="footnote">1c</a>]</sup>). This is the case
for
Firefox, Chrome and SeaMonkey. IE8 breaks the footnote across two
lines.
I then found a workaround that renders the
first footnote
correctly in most browsers (IE8 still breaks across lines) – put
an empty <a> tag before the <sup> (though
having duplicate <a> tags might have issues regarding
accessibility or
validity, and I’m not sure if epubcheck would pass such a chunk as
valid):
<a></a><sup>[<a
id="d0e490"
href=""
class="footnote">1c</a>]</sup>
But the markup that is rendered most
consistently across browsers
is to put the superscript inside the <a>:
<a id="d0e490" href=""
class="footnote"><sup>[1a]</sup></a>
This places the hyperlink underline a small
distance below
the superscript and makes the square brackets and the number
active – this
could be better than the default markup because there’s a slightly
larger
active link area.

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?

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...

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>.
