I’m writing an academic book with many footnotes. Additionally, the book has many internal document links for easy referencing on a digital interface. These are working fine in the digital version. However, I’d like them to look cleaner and I need to print the book as well.
I have three questions (feel free to only answer one):
-
Can internal document links can be automatically enumerated (and separately from the endnotes)? For instance, footnotes could be labeled 1, 2, 3 and internal document links could be labeled i, ii, iii, etc. This doesn’t seem possible but maybe someone knows better. This would make the digital interface look cleaner.
-
Is there a way to format footnotes/internal document links so that the formatting converts to epub? It seems that epub always overrides original formatting, but something I do makes insanely small footnotes sometimes and oversized footnotes at other times. I’ve messed with preferences and styles and themes without any discernible control over the situation.
-
When this goes to print, footnotes convert fine but internal document links don’t export to print formats (as far as I can figure out), so how do I convert these into endnotes or something similar? This may not be possible, either, so I’m thinking I need to use Affinity Publisher, but I haven’t learned that software, yet - is this worth learning for a single project or do I need to shell out a couple thousand to have someone format this for me?
Thank you,
Drew
