The Notes tab
These tabs contain settings for transcribing Braille notes. These settings can only be stored in the open document, or in the chosen configuration profile, i.e. maintained as settings for any uploaded document.
There are three types of notes: End of page notes; End of document notes; End of title notes.
End of page notes are usually printed at the beginning of the page following the one where they appear. Biblos allows you to print them in other modes as well. The tab has the following fields.
- Reference: mask for printing the note reference that appears in the document. You can use the %NN variable that is replaced by the note number;
- Description: Mask that appears next to the text of the note. Also here the variable %NN can be used, which is replaced by the actual number of the note.
- Transcription: box where you choose when and where to print the note. Several choices are available:
a. Immediate: the note is printed immediately after the paragraph in which the reference appears;
b. End of Page: The note is printed at the bottom of the page. If there are several notes, the program tries to print them at the bottom of the page. If there is no space at the bottom of a page to print one or more notes, the notes are printed at the bottom of the next page;
