Export footnotes on same html page as main text

Hey, @mwra!

In TBX (footnote-poc-1 & footnote-pc-multiple2), no footnotes (at the bottom of the footnote area) are displayed. Not even in the preview. And not in the exportpane. Not even in the export of a separate file.

As you said, I clicked on footnote number 1 in the text, but it does not scroll down.

I have also restarted Tinderbox. I would also reinstall it, but I don’t have version 9.61 within reach, and I don’t know where to download it again. I couldn’t find it on the Eastgate website. But I also doubt that a reinstallation would change anything.

But I understood correctly that the files you provided should work without any further intervention, right?

Yes. I’m testing in the current public release v10.0.2. I’ve reviewed change logs from v9.6.1 onwards and I don’t see anything that would affect the render.

I also tested with export set to use a local folder (rather than internal preview) and the doc still works.

Are you want to try the doc in the current release? Note: even if your licence doesn’t cover that you can still download the current release, put the app on the desktop and run it from there in demo mode. As the demo creates no notes, the demo should run.

Or, if around today, hop on the weekly Tinderbox Zoom meet-up—see forum for details. Then we might be able to see the doc in your system and perhaps find where the glitch is occurring.

Forgot to upload further polish to the single note/page and multi-note/page versions of this solution with libraries added to assists minimise the work of transferring the setup into another TBX. Now everything can be automated/preconfigured but I’ve done as much as can be. See:

Hi @mwra,
i have tried your files in the newest version of TB (10.0.2) an thy run perfectly. So I think, the problem is, that TB 9.62 is already too old.

Ya, a TON has been added since 9.62. :slight_smile:

Thanks for this @mwra ; I found the concept useful and the descriptive notes enough to enable me to do this from scratch in another TBX
