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, Gerhard Schön ITG/LMU
