Description Lana Brindley 2008-05-12 01:13:11 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
publican-0.33-0.el5

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create Book using Publican
2. Include an xref
3. Publish book to PDF
  
Actual results:
Footnote numbers doubled, and missing the footnote (containing the URL) at the
bottom of the page.

Expected results:
Footnotes are numbered sequentially and the appropriate note and URL appear at
the bottom of the page.

Additional info:
Notes on example found in
https://engineering.redhat.com/docbot/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_MRG/1.0/pdf/Messaging_Installation_Guide/
On page 1 of the PDF, you refer to the "Red Hat Enterprise MRG Supported
Hardware Page" with footnote 1.  First, you've already used footnote 1 on the
previous page, and second (and probably a side effect), there is no
corresponding footnote at the bottom of the page.

On Page 4, again there's no footnote for footnote 4.

Comment 1 Lana Brindley 2008-05-12 01:14:28 UTC
Oops - reproducible "every time" for this book. Probably not every time for
*every* book.

Comment 2 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2008-05-12 02:15:47 UTC
The footnote was inheriting it's font colour from the block containg the
footnote reference. Since these footnotes originated in a block with white text
the footnote was invisible.

Hardcoded the footnote font to black since footnotes will always be on a white
background.
