CSS-Based PDF: footnote

[abacus66]

I cannot see the footnote ruler in the PDF output. Although 'p-foot-notes.css' has the appropriate line:

Code: Select all

border-top: solid black thin;

What's wrong?

As I noted in that file there is a "@footnote". But somewhere I saw a "@footnotes". When I tried @footnotes, I get message

“@footnotes” is a CSS hack

The @footnote part of a @page declaration controls the style of the separator between the page content and the footnotes. As content you should set a leader. The leader uses a letter or a line style to fill the entire width of the page.

Code: Select all

@page {

	margin:0.5in;

       ....	

	@footnote {

		content: leader(solid);

		color:silver;

	}

}	

To create a dotted line you can use the dot character: leader('.'). Other commonly used characters are "-" (dash) and "_" (underscore).

Let us know if it worked.

Many regards,
Dan
