Subject:DOCBOOK-APPS: large space between footnotes, footnoteref duplicates
From:Milan Zamazal (Mila@hyperqbs.org)

When I process the following document foo.sgml:

<!DOCTYPE section PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN"> <section> <title>Foo</title> <para>Blah<footnote id=bar> <para>Footnote text.</para> </footnote>, blah<footnoteref linkend=bar>. </para> </section>

with the command

jade -t tex -V tex-backend -V bop-footnotes -d /usr/lib/sgml/stylesheet/dsssl/docbook/nwalsh/print/docbook.dsl foo.sgml

I receive quite ugly result. The problems are:

- The <footnoteref> mark causes duplicate insertion of the footnote text--there are two footnotes for the document. Is it possible to suppress this and let <footnoteref> to insert the footnote mark only?

- There is a very large vertical space between the two footnotes (at least 4 times the font height). Is there any way to reduce it?

I use jadetex 3.5 and standard DocBook stylesheets 1.64 on Debian.

Thanks for any advice.
