--- Comment #28 from Regina Henschel <rb.hensc...@t-online.de> --- If you start the footnote area directly after the last line of text, you get the large gap after the footnotes. From a typographical point of view, it would be against the principle of a "footnote". The gap is caused by the rule, that every footnote has to start at the same page as the footnote anchor. If -as in the example document- Orphan/Widow control is enabled, it can happen, that the footnote text together with (here 2) lines, does not fit on the page and therefore 2 lines and its footnotes go to the next page. Another reason is the amount of footnotes per line. From a typographical point of view, I would use endnotes per chapter, technically done by making each chapter a section. From content it is very questionable, to use a footnote that is longer as one line. If the content is so large, that it needs several lines, then it belongs to the text. For the example document disable Widow control to get a more compact text. That is not nice typography, but double line spacing is neither. I would not follow the idea to put footnotes directly after the text. > The "below the text" footnote formatting is required by his Doctoral program. I too would like to see such requirement. I guess, that the requirement only means to use footnotes and not endnotes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
