Description Klaus.Malorny 2010-11-15 13:44:06 UTC
This bug applies to publican 2.3, at least for the html-single format (others not tested)

Description of problem:

A footnote in an element within a <biblioentry> causes the footnote to appear twice. This is the causing DocBook fragment:

    <biblioentry id="Unicode">
      <indexterm><primary>Unicode</primary></indexterm>
      <title>The Unicode Standard<footnote><para>No version is given here,
        as this standard evolves over time. At the time of writing,
        the latest version was 6.0</para></footnote></title>
      <publisher><publishername>The Unicode
        Consortium</publishername></publisher>
      <biblioid class="uri">http://www.unicode.org</biblioid>
    </biblioentry>

Hi, I can't duplicate this behaviour on F14, can you tell us what version of the DocBook DTD and styles you are using?

Comment 4 Klaus.Malorny 2010-11-25 08:48:57 UTC
I don't see any CVS version tags or similar in the style sheets, so I simply attached them to this bug report. I am using DocBook 4.5. As I am using Ubuntu, I downloaded Publican from the repository of the upcoming 11.04 version ("natty"), as the current release for Unbuntu 10.10 is still 1.6.3. The version tag is "2.3-1ubuntu1", whatever this means.

I also attached a small screenshot, depicting the problem. I am using my own branding (still not perfect), but should not have any effect on the structure of the HTML file as far as I understand the whole system.

The problem does not occur with the multi-page ("html") format, by the way. The document that causes the problem is not that secret, but I don't want to make it public via Bugzilla. So if I had an e-mail address, I could supply the document if need be.

Comment 6 Ruediger Landmann 2013-07-15 02:44:07 UTC
I can reproduce this on F19, but not in html-single; only in multi-page HTML. Updating subject accordingly.

Comment 7 HSS Product Manager 2013-07-16 05:18:36 UTC
HSS-QE has reviewed and declined this request. QE for this bug will be handled by IED.
