When using reflowable EPUB, there's no real concept of a page, and thus no real concept of footnotes. One can move them to the end of a chapter, but an arguably better solution is a popup. ~~Move~~ the footnote text ~~to the end of the file, and enclose it~~ in an <tt>aside</tt> tag ala:

When using reflowable EPUB, there's no real concept of a page, and thus no real concept of footnotes. One can move them to the end of a chapter, but an arguably better solution is a popup. Enclose the footnote text in an <tt>aside</tt> tag ala:

<div class="footnote"><a href="#CALLSITE">*</a> Footnote text.</div>

<div class="footnote"><a href="#CALLSITE">*</a>Footnote text.</div>

</aside>

</syntaxhighlight>

Use of <tt>epub:type="footnote"</tt> ought result in the text being hidden.

Use of <tt>epub:type="footnote"</tt> ought result in the text being hidden, but you might need <tt>hidden="hidden"</tt> in your <tt>aside</tt> tag. Unfortunately, this latter causes problems with the popup text in Calibre (at least version 7.4).

Wrap the callsite with an <tt>a</tt> tag:

<a ~~epub_type~~="noteref" href="#SOMEID" id>Callsite text.</a>

<a role="doc-noteref" epub:type="noteref" href="#SOMEID" id>Callsite text.</a>

</syntaxhighlight>

Without <tt>role="doc-noteref"</tt>, you will not get a popup in Calibre.

===Entities===

EPUB3 eliminates all but a few HTML entitites.
