Hi,

I have been puzzling over how to typeset footnotes in a HTML document, 
most elements have been relatively easy to typeset but I'm stumped with 
footnotes.  I have been studying the the xml manual in particular 
Chapter  7.4 Cross Referencing, but I'm still struggling to get 
xmlsetups which come anywhere near working. Any hints  to a solution 
would be greatly appreciated.

Best Wishes

Keith McKay

Here is a snippet of the HTML document with footnotes

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

not been discovered,’ wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson<span 
class="footnote"><span class="footnote-indirect" 
data-fnref="53-1"></span></span>. Those delicate crucifers with their 
manifold faces of four pink or lilac petals striated with veins of 
deeper lavender are the perfect introduction to flowers for children. So 
delicate and yet hardy.</p>
   <p class="import-Normal">I spend some of April abroad, travelling by 
road from an unseasonably snowy Austria (‘dieses Wetter ist 
verrückt!’<span class="footnote"><span class="footnote-indirect" 
data-fnref="53-2"></span></span> as an elderly lady exclaimed to me) to 
northern France, and when I come home, it’s to a landscape responding to 
substantially increased light levels and temperatures.</p>
   <p class="import-Normal">This was the early sixties. Like many 
thousands, we were rehoused from Maryhill in the heart of urban Glasgow 
to this peripheral housing scheme which completely changed the character 
of what had been a village. Within a decade those glasshouses were 
abandoned, glass broken in the frames, and a row of shops that included 
a chippy and a betting shop soon replaced them, betting ‘off’ licensed 
race-tracks having become legal in 1961.<span class="footnote"><span
