Charles Ahikar: 3 columns Here are three columns of text, with footnotes going to the respective columns. The text at the bottom is a multi-page flow presented as a footnote, although I don’t see a call-out for the a marker in the main text. [more...] |
 |
Charles Ahikar 2 Another page; notice the alignment of the footnotes. All columns must break to leave room for the tallest footnote region. |
 |
Charles Ezra Here we have nots with start/end markers, and a running commentary on the bottom of the page, tied to verse numbers. The footnotes are inline objects, a new footnote does not begin on a new [...] [more...] |

Forbidden Rites Another modern text. On the left, the horizontal rule separates notes from each section. There are two parallel texts, and the notes go under the approriate column. [more...] |
