There are always workarounds, but footnotes within footnotes aren't directly supported by any publishing system I know of, and with good reason. A footnote, just like a marginal, is an expansion on the main text that can be skipped without loss of information (but maybe loss of detail). So whenever you feel that you need a footnote within a footnote, you could just as well have two footnotes at the original place. > If such thing isn't possible, ODT back-end will ignore any footnote > contained in another footnote (i.e. whose genealogy contains an element > with an `footnote-reference' or `footnote-definition' type) and send > a message to the user. It would be better to not promote the idea of footnotes within footnotes and those who insist on using that construct should be required to explicitly request that feature and suffer the consequences. Much better would be if starting a footnote while within a footnote would simply open a new footnote and add the reference at the same place where the first one was opened.
