filter for ePub footnotes

filter for ePub footnotes

[Pablo Rodríguez]

Dear list,

I would be extremely interested in generating ePub files which contain
real superscript glyphs (from the font embedded in the file).

I can do that with all superscript, but I need a file for the footnote
references.

Would anyone be so kind to create a filter that replaces each digit from
0123456789 with the correspondent digit from ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹ inside the
element <a class="footnoteRef">?

I would love to do it myself, but I’m afraid I cannot code.

Many thanks in advance,

Pablo

What you want isn't a filter, since the footnote marker is
only created by the writer.  Your best bet is a shell
script that opens the epub zip container, does a regex
substitution on the contents of <a class="footnoteRef">,
and zips it back together again.

Many thanks for your reply, John.

How could I achieve that? I don’t even know where to start searching.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

On linux you could use sed for substitution. Personally, I would do it
with a python script, but any script language will do the trick. And
finally you can knit it together with a Makefile.

Many thanks for your reply, Jan-Ulrich.

sed is fine, but I wonder how to replace characters only inside <a
class="footnoteRef">.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

I once wrote a filter which intercepted all notes and replaced 
them with a note reference with a link to a div somewhere else in 
the document which contained the note text, in an item of an 
ordered list, with a link back to the note reference,
i.e. essentially the kind of structure which the HTML writer 
creates for links, except that you could put placeholder 
paragraphs anywhere in the document which were replaced with a div 
containing a list with the text of all notes since the last 
placeholder, which allowed me to put notes at the end of sections,
and to 'localize' notes in a table with the note texts below the 
table and the notes numbered alphabetically rather than with 
'arabic' numbers. There were no Note objects at all in the JSON 
returned to the writer. It could easily be adapted to use Unicode 
superscripts if desired.

I’d be extremely interested in that filter.

I must admit that I don’t understand everything. But if I can place the
div with the all the notes text right after a  #footnotes element, this
would be really awesome.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
