I am sorry if I created confusion, leading to think this is presently possible. My intention was to suggest a possible solution based on the section feature. If footnote area can some way or other be considered a section, section configuration allows to layout the area multi-columns. Looking carefully at the attached examples, notably the Arabic "Many footnotes per line", multicolumn does not solve completely the request. In this example, we rather have end-of-paragraph suppression (which IMHO makes detection of note start more difficult). I know that ODF does not cover the case. My proposal for a section needs serious thinking about it because: -1- footnote location is not known in advanced (apart the area is flushed vertically against footer boundary) -2- it extends upwards until it meets main text -3- it may spill over to next page -1- is probably the most serious -2- any section grows (downwards), so not knowing its size can probably be handled -3- sections are already continued on next page when needed Another approach could be to consider a frame, but I think frames don't fit here because they need an anchor (to which "object" attach this anchor?). Using a page anchor may lead to more problems than a section. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
