Hello CEI-L,
regarding the <note> entry in the tag library on the CEI web site --
The word or phrase of the running text which is being annotated could be
enclosed by the NOTE element, while the footnote body would be the value of
an attribute named say CONTENT.
This syntax can be easily transformed into HTML or TeX/PDF. Since the
footnote body is given within the running text, there is no need of a
footnote reference or ID attribute. The footnote marker would be generated
by the transformation.
Best regards,
