I'm looking to create a footnote pane for a Docbook-like schema. An
example of the XML is:
<Para>
This is my paragraph<Footnote>There are many like it but this one is
mine</Footnote>. It should just serve as filler<Footnote>Another
Example Footnote</Footenote>. Text after the footnotes.
</Para>
I would like to render this block of CSS like this:
1 - There are many like it but this one is mine.
2 - Another Example Footnote
I was able render the Footnote tags properly, but I cannot hide the text
nodes in the enclosing Paragraph. I currently have something like this:
This is my paragraph1 - There are many like it but this one is mine.
It should just serve as filler2 - Another Example FootnoteText after the
footnotes.
I've tried styling the Para with:
Para {
display: none;
}
but this hides all content nested inside of the paragraph. It would be
nice if XMLmind had a CSS rule for styling text nodes similar to the
rules for styling comments and processing instructions. In my example,
any properties set on the text nodes of a Para would not cascade to
Footnote elements. I'm thinking that the syntax would be:
Para::text {
display: none;
}
Is there another way to accomplish the same goal without adding this
nonstandard CSS rule?
Thanks,
Mike
