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

All:

Just a note on this. FOOTNOTE_REORDERING is a side effect of the way tables
are rendered. Cells in a table are internally constructed from right to left
in the formatter and hence footnote references are encountered in a non
intuitive order. FOOTNOTE_REORDERING simply is aware of this and can reorder
the notes for a tabular row should more than one occur.

It is not any more memory to do so.

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
