$v:chunk-renumber-footnotes

$v:chunk-renumber-footnotes — Renumber footnotes when chunking?

Variable:
{http://docbook.org/ns/docbook/variables}chunk-renumber-footnotes
Defined in:
modules/variable.xsl
Used in:
modules/chunk-cleanup.xsl

Synopsis

$v:chunk-renumber-footnotes as xs:boolean := f:is-true($chunk-renumber-footnotes)

Description

Footnotes are generally numbered (or otherwise marked, see $footnote-numeration) sequentially throughout a document. If the document is being broken into chunks, it may seem odd if the only footnote in a chunk is labeled “5”. If $v:chunk-renumber-footnotes is true, the stylesheets will attempt to renumber footnotes in each chunk so that they begin at the first mark in each chunk.

Note

If your document uses footnoteref and the reference and the footnote are in different chunks, this may lead to very confusing numeration!
