Well, the code 4 that example is on page 81 of
TeXLive\texmf\doc\plain\edmac\edmac.dvi

But the code for paragraphed footnates is a bit complicated. See pages 64--69 of
edmac.dvi 4 all the issues involved

EDMAC is a three-pass system (though u can get away with two passes most of the time)

Much more trickery, I'm afraid:-)
Note that the lemma of \text{} may contain further text commands. Nested notes
will commonly be necessary: it's quite likely that we'll have an
explanatory note for a long passage and notes on variants for
individual words within that passage. Features for changing the line number that's
sent to the notes r part of Edmac as well. The \lemma{} command changes the lemma that
gets passed to the
notes. Sometimes a note will continue on the next page and so page numbers as well as
line numbers have to be considered.
A few other things to note as well; please see the bottom of p. 6 of edmac.dvi to the
end of chapter 2. All of the configurability features are mentioned there. See also
the example code in Appendix
A od edmac.dvi.
Thnx 4 taking interest! If u decide to implement EDMAC's functionality I have a couple
of suggestions 4 improvements as well.
Best wishes

Indeed!
