Description dnwilson 2002-12-11 00:18:31 UTC 
Proposal add symbols to the set of automatic footnote numbering options.  
  
Currently the Tools>Footnotes>Numbering options include   
  
1,2,3...   
A,B,C ...   
a,b,s ...   
i, ii, iii ...   
A, AA, AAA ...   
a, aa, aaa ...   
  
The Chicago Manual of Style stipulates that when Endnotes and Footnotes are  
both used the Endnotes are consecutively numbered (1,2,3 ...) and for the  
Footnotes symbols are to be used. The series they suggest are -   
* , ? , ? , § , ? , #  
 
{this mail interface will not show the full set of symbols - see the web page 
at proposal 3 for the full set)  
 
As more symbols are needed they are doubled and trebled -   
** , ?? , ?? , §§ , ??, ## ,  *** , ??? , ??? , §§§ , ???, ###  
 
The proposal is to add this set of symbols to the automatic numbering options  
for footnotes.   
  
The processing of the footnotes will need to be adjusted for symbols, as the  
symbol sequence is restarted at the initial symbol ( * ), for each page they  
are use on.  
 
regards

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
