Mmh, maybe you're are referring to the original source? The output one is bare bone (what I need) In any case, I upload the wrong reconstructed pdf (too late at night...) The reconstructed pdf (pdf -->xml-->context-->pdf) is this one, where footnotes are handled correctly (an important point for me). http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/text.pdf I rendered it with XeConTeXt. As noted by Mojca, there are some problems with double apices In relation to footnote 1, this is what is coded in source : "Sign and Reality" > Did you also try pdftohtml --> html --> context? No. You are suggesting via pandoc? Good point. The exported html is very clean. In general it seems that the idea is not to generate information related to document structure (as this should be inferred from pdf) favoring appearance description.

Who doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information. (Annabel Chong)
