References cannot be in footnotes #5

Open nelhop opened 9 years ago

nelhop commented 9 years ago

Since it's a common Workflow is to add citations in Footnotes this came really unexpected: "References cannot be in footnotes, ignoring key xxxxxxx (type default)."

Is there any possibility to work around that? I would love to contribute if possible.

Some post I found about the issue (unfortunately in German): http://www.hilfdirselbst.ch/foren/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_printable;post=532025;t=def

I'd love to have the script working in footnotes too! In the post linked by @nelhop they mention a script called ReFoot, which basically moves text in the text flow to the footnotes. But they say combining it with zot2indd just doesn't work (tried myself, I can confirm).

One user (last answer to the post) suggests working around that by just placing some anchored text frame in place of the footnote, which might well work, but isn't actually the most elegant solution ever.

Maybe by further developing this ReFoot script mentioned above one could get the job done. (Just wondering, I'm not a developer and have no idea of all this stuff.)

As for the rest, zot2indd works like a charm with ID CS6 on my Windows machine. Great script!

[EDIT: minor formatting.]

Hi, thank you very much for your positive feedback and for the constructive ideas towards a solution. Also glad that it „still“ works, as I have not used it myself for about 2 years. But I do remember that I had tried to make it work in footnotes and spent some time on that, but did not succeed. There must be some way, but it will certainly involve some time that I currently not have. Sorry to have to let you down on that… but I’ll certainly keep it in mind. Best regards, Kai
