    I want to create a reflowable epub with superscripts that are linked to footnotes in an appendix. I’m confused because, I’m not even sure “what” I should link to. My first choice was to link to a page, but that won’t work in a reflowable pub, will it? If a footnote is on page 536 in a big device, then it might be on page 800 in a cell phone, right?

    Another option would be to link directly to the footnote. Is that’s what’s meant by “text anchor”?

    So if I have ¹ in chapter 1, I could put the footnote in a div with the ID 1-1 (<div id=”1-1″). Would my link then just look like this?:

    ¹

    Or do I have to include the name of the document the footnote is in? If it’s in a document named Appendix1, would my link look something like this?: ¹

    I can’t import content into InDesign, so I have to figure out how to write the links myself. Thanks for any tips.

    If you mean footnotes, use footnotes. Here you have 3 options: PopUp in EPUB 3 (not recommended), directly after the paragraph (not recommended), at the end of the story. This can be the end of a chapter or the end of a book and is depending on how your textframes are threaded.

    An alternative way could be hyperlinks or crossreferences. I’m pretty sure, that you will find some helpful informations in AMs video trainings at lynda.com.
