The manpages stylesheet does not yet support output for footnote. The reason the footnote marker was being output is because the HTML stylesheets (which the manpages stylesheet) output it and I had not overridden that.
The footnote marker is now suppressed, and if a refenty contains a footnote, the stylesheets will now output a message during processing that says: Warn: Output for footnote element is not yet supported. Foo ..where "Foo" is the refname of the refentry. You can test it with the latest snapshot. I will try to add complete footnote support in the next-next release (either 1.71.1 or 1.72.0, after the 1.71.0 release). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
