    On footnotes

    Discussion in 'Word Mechanics' started by GB reader, Sep 15, 2017.



    Of course it’s impossible to imitate Pratchett, but many times his usage of footnotes makes his books even more funny. They give his narrator a life of its own.


    So, how to have footnotes in a running media like this forum*.


    You would have to have some kind of scene/chapter breaks and put them just before that.

    Or maybe you could have them [in square brackets with smaller font].

    Or maybe they are something only for a text on a physical page.

    *) Running should of course not mean that media is moving.
