    Hello Jeremy,

    Unfortunately footnotes as they described in XSL FO 1.0 aren't suitable for
    such use. The only workaround I can think about based on markers. You
    can create static-content area at the bottom of the page, then mark all
    your footnotes as markers and place all retrieve-markers in static
    content mentioned above. But since static area has fixed height this
    approach has two evident drawbacks:
    1. When there are few markers ("footnotes") on the page, empty gap
       will be left at its bottom.
    2. Too mach markers on the page will lead to overflow.

    Best regards,

    JC> Is their a way that I can render footnotes in paragraph format? such as:

    JC> 1) Footnote 1 2) Footnote 2 3) Footnote 3, etc...

    JC> Instead of line by line format:

    JC> 1) Footnote 1
    JC> 2) Footnote 2
    JC> 3) Footnote 3

    JC> Thanks for any help! I am formatting a document that sometimes has 30

    JC> Line format takes up half the page when doing a document like this.

    JC> Thanks!
