Re: [xep-support] Footnote rendering in parallel / dual language documents

Ken / Andy / Mike,
Thanks for taking the time to reply - I think I need to check out the logic of the
FOOTNOTE_REORDERING that is implemented with the renderx guys, plus it must take a
whole load more memory to run with that option selected. I've more or less solved my
initial issue - got a further, nastier one brewing though...

Thanks again
Chris
