Or, rather, how can I get the information I need?
My text is in two columns, manually formatted (English one side, Hebrew the
other). The English text has footnotes in it -- and because of the columns, I
have to handle them myself.
Everything works fine but for one small problem: when I split a paragraph
containing footnotes using "\vsplit", it is possible for footnotes to be on the
page preceding the part of the para. which actually has the references.
My scheme to get around this was to insert a "mark" with just the number of the
current footnote, just preceding the inserted footnote mark in the English.
Then, when I "vsplit", use "\splitbotmark" to get the *last* footnote number
and split the footnotes accordingly. This sceme worked fine in a simple test
document...
However, it doesn't work in the real document. The "\splitbotmark" is *always*
coming back as "0" (to ensure I always have some mark, I insert a "\mark{0}" at
the very beginning of the English para. This is causing my plan to fail
miserably, and I'm not sure how to proceed.
Any pointers would be most welcome!
Thank you,
Ron
