Footnotes Summary Macro

What It Does

The Footnotes Summary macro renders a numbered list of all Footnote macro definitions placed on the page above it. It works as the counterpart to the Footnotes macro - the Footnotes macro marks the inline reference, and the Footnotes Summary collects and displays all footnote text in one place.

Setup

Place Footnote macros inline throughout your page content where you want reference numbers to appear
At the end of the section (or page), insert the Footnotes Summary macro
The Summary automatically scans upward and renders a numbered list of every footnote definition it finds in scope

Scope and Numbering

Behaviour	Detail
Numbering	Footnote numbers reset to 1 at each Footnotes Summary macro
Scope	Each Summary collects footnotes from the current page scope up to the previous Summary (or page start)
Multi-tab pages	Place one Footnotes Summary at the bottom of each tab for tab-scoped numbering, or one at the bottom of the page for page-wide numbering

Limitations

The Footnotes Summary cannot be nested inside another macro's body
Footnotes are listed in the order they appear on the page, not alphabetically
Footnote content is plain text only - no links or macros inside footnote definitions

Use Cases

Academic-style documents with end-of-section citation lists
Legal and policy pages with footnoted exceptions
Research summaries requiring consolidated reference lists
Multi-section pages where each section has its own footnote list
