Re: Dealing with footnotes

I'm trying to transform an xml document into html and having difficulties in
keeping the content of the footnotes from appearing in the text of the
document. Is there any way to present the content of the footnotes at the
bottom vs. the way it is now.

<xsl:template match="/">
  ...
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
        <hr/> <!-- putting in a rule just to separate off the notes -->
        <xsl:apply-templates select="//footnote" mode="notes"/>
  ...
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="footnote">
  <sup><xsl:value-of select="@id"/></sup>
  <!-- displays the value of the ID but nothing else -->
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="footnote" mode="notes">
  <p>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
    <!-- processing the node again in the default mode just to get the ID -->
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
    <!-- next just descending the tree to get the note's contents -->
  </p>
</xsl:template>

 Also how can I display the value of the "id"
attribute that references the actual footnote?

Cheers,
Wendell
