I've spend some time last week writing up the documentation for a first
footnote package and just a couple of minutes ago added it to the experimental
code section on the project www server
you'll find it at
ftp//:www.latex-project.org/code/experimental/xfootnote.tgz (tar gzip)
http//:www.latex-project.org/code/experimental/xfootnote (dir with
individual files)
it consist of a package file xfootnote.dtx (roughly 20 pages)
a docstrip batch file xfootnote.ins and a small test file xfootnote-test.tex
so far it only covers latex like types of footnotes, other layouts need
adding. so you will not be surprised if i have essentially the same questions
as with the xcontents stuff:
- do you think the templates provide you with the keys to implement the
layouts people might need/want?
- what is missing, what is wrong, what is right?
- there are a lot of questions posed in the .dtx file, perhaps some of you
have some answers?
- if anybody thinks he/she knows of designs that can't be achieved i would
like to learn about them --- there must be many i'm sure ...
