The value of L:
is calculated as follows:
2 for the PG required 2-space indent of formatted text
1 for a left bracket
1 for a right bracket
1 for a space
n for the width of the widest key value in that class of footnote.
When all alpha keys are single letters, or all numerics are single-digits, you get L:6
so the notes format:
[A] First line of note...
continuation on next line lines up.
If you get L:8
it is because you have at least one key of 3 characters, [123] or [xiv]?
That's correct.
However it's not the format I'd like. I'd prefer to have 2/2/2. I could do a search replace, but then that might conflict with some other quote formatting. Fixing that issue might need a new interface.
No real urgency for me though.
Literally /Q F:2 L:2 R:2
-- or just /Q
and nothing more so the defaults rule at reflow time?
I could just take out all the calculation of key symbol width and use the bare /Q
.
OK, here's what I'm going to do.
There are no constraints on the contents of a /Q line. The reflow logic parses it looking for keywords followed by a colon and a number. But anything that doesn't match that pattern is ignored.
So I'm going to change the Ascii convert to write /Q FN xxx
where xxx is the key style name, typically ABC
or 123
or ivx
.
This will be ignored by reflow, but you can use find/replace to change it specific indents if you want.

The default for blockquotes are 2/2/2. If I convert the footnotes to ascii, I get:
So 2/8/2 instead of 2/2/2. Or it could be that there is no way to set the defaults for the conversion.
