=8cO Right now might not be the best moment for an independent fix for that, indeed!

If somebody can point out a place this occurs, We'll fix it when we restyle.

Subject: Re: [SWIPL] Footnotes in documentation

It is very old code.  Considering that Anne and Jessica are working on
the website styling, this may fix itself :-)  If not, if anyone is aware
of a good looking CSS solution for footnotes, please share it.  It is 
not hard to change.
