Handling Complex Footnotes

eXtyles can handle even the most complex of footnotes, provided your configuration has been set up to deal with them. Footnotes can be divided into the following four categories, of increasing complexity and hopefully decreasing frequency:

1. A single paragraph of text. This should use the appropriate footnote, note or endnote style. For example:

* Some variables, such as measures of income inequality and degree of financial openness, are not included in our study because of the limited availability of good- quality data across countries over the sample period.

which gives this XML:

<fn id="FN1">
<label>*</label>
<p>Some variables, such as measures of income inequality and degree of financial openness, are not included in our study because of the limited availability of good-quality data across countries over the sample period.</p>
</fn>

2. Two or more paragraphs of text. The first paragraph should carry the appropriate footnote, note or endnote style. The second and subsequent paragraphs will require a "Footnote_Continued" style.

* Whether a country’s currency is undervalued depends on the concept of the yardstick (i.e. the fundamental equilibrium exchange rate) used to measure its undervaluation.

Cheung et al. (2007) provides a brief review of some of those concepts and discusses the difficulty in measuring the equilibrium exchange rate and the uncertainty surrounding those measurements.

Most analysts have concluded that the Chinese currency has been significantly undervalued.

</fn>

3. One or more paragraphs of text, as well as one or more unnumbered tables (without a table caption) and/or one or more of a list of defined objects that might include lists and display equations. The first text paragraph carries the appropriate footnote style, and any subsequent text paragraphs carry the "Footnote_Continued" style. Note that two lists would need to be separated by another paragraph(s) that did not carry a list style; otherwise, they would be combined into a single list (this is true anywhere in the document).
