There is no stylesheet parameter for this, but you can customize the template that handles the numbering. It starts with this line in fo/footnote.xsl:

<xsl:template match="footnote" mode="footnote.number">

You need to edit this instance of xsl:number:

       <xsl:number level="any"
                   from="chapter|appendix|preface|article|refentry|bibliography"
count="footnote[not(@label)][not(ancestor::table) and not(ancestor::informaltable)]
                   ...

Just delete the from="..." attribute, and then it will count from the start of the document.

Subject: [docbook-apps] footnote numbering in FO output


Hi,

in FO output the numbering sequence for footnotes restarts at 1 at the beginning of each chapter. Is there a way to turn this off? I'ld like to have them continuously increasing throughout the document.

Johannes
