Moving the id to the p tag. If you look at the link I posted, the destination has to be at least 9 characters. That is probably 5. Putting the id on the paragraph would solve that. And is the correct destination.

3. The node being linked to is less than or equal to 5000 characters. In my limited testing, it seemed to count from the referenced footnote to the end of the file for the character count which is why I ended up splitting each footnote into it's own file and all of those files were at the end of the file list. If you use the epub:xxxx tags, this is not an issue. As for the return tag, I would disagree with davidfor and suggest that it does not have a character size limitation. If you want some real fun, try implementing a many to one reference (one footnote referenced in many spots) and returning to the correct spot. Trivial when it is a popup but a PITA when navigating to the reference. Last edited by DNSB; 02-21-2019 at 12:27 PM. |

I did see that. Next question is why the 9 character minimum. They didn't offer an inline explanation for this requirement. It seems unusual that you'd have to to change or programmatically massage the actual substance of the content (versus the markup) in order to hit the 9 character minimum, and trigger the desired behavior.

Now the next thing: why are they even doing it this way? To me, if I click link 117, I want to see the note for 117--not 116, not 118, and certainly not a bunch of them together. Displaying them together when the reader didn't ask for them seems like an oversight to me, or an artifact of paper print days. But with an ebook, we should be able to link precisely and display precisely the target content of the link. Good support for this is how the other readers are handling it. And if they went ahead and changed this to display one note at a time, it would nearly eliminate this problem altogether (except in the niche case where you have one mondo footnote that has > 5000 chars in it--which does happen in some of my books).

Of course, I can think of a better way to implement the case where there's too much footnote info to display in one popup screen, and *some* of my reader software does this: just provide a scrollable popup screen. |

Warning: Hyperlinked content not using the epub:type attribute footnote or endnote will display as a pop-up on Kobo's iOS and eInk platforms in cases where all the following criteria are met. If you are going to read kepubs, adding the epub:type semantics and using aside will prevent your issue from happening. Otherwise, the renderer is guessing as to where the footnote actually ends since epub2 has no way of indicating this information. Heuristics can only take you so far. Using my pathological case epub (it's designed to fail), I've only found one reader app that did not fail on it and that one opened the entire footnote file as a popup. Perhaps including various href items inside footnotes was not a good idea but they do make it nasty for the renderer (the original came from noticing that a sub-footnote caused issues). If the epub2 renderer gracefully fails when parsing an unknown item, the epub3 semantics should have no effect when reading as an epub2. As mentioned by davidfor, there have been multiple discussions in the Workshop and epub forums about footnotes/endnotes. You may want to do a search there for more information. |

What's the most efficient way in Calibre to transform all those HTML links in an entire book? Are we talking the Search/Replace conversion tool, and some kind of regex? |

I have a Kobo Clara HD, software version 4.12.12111 (13a6961059 12/11/18).
I have around 67 books on it, almost all of them using Calibre and maybe a couple downloaded through Overdrive integration from my library. I cannot highlight text across pages by holding down on the text until the highlight appears and then dragging the finger to bottom right corner. The page doesn't turn automatically and nothing happens until I release the finger. The highlight menu appears when I release the finger. I have tried restarting my device, removing and downloading the book again, tried in other books but it doesn't work. Last edited by inspirit; 03-08-2019 at 02:06 PM. Reason: My bad, I meant to say bottom right not left |

And perhaps a question about highlighting doesn't fit into the topic of this thread which is firmware bugs. Last edited by DNSB; 03-08-2019 at 01:03 PM. |

Today, I put it in my back pocket after putting it to sleep. I take it out, and it is advancing through pages, with all the pages being highlighted. I had to put it to sleep and wake it up several times to get it to stop. |

And FWIW, I was just able to highlight across pages going forward, but not backward.

One thing I should add is that I've disabled the new page QuickTurn feature on my devices. I don't know whether that explains why it works for me. It's not convenient for me to test that possibility at the moment. |

It could be a file format issue as someone suggested. Now I need to figure out how to check the file format. |
