Dear all,
I am using Ednotes & Polyglossia (and thus Bidi) to produce a critical edition of an
Arabic text, in Memoir. Ednotes seems to call up the manyfoot package
automatically. I am having two problems:
1. I have three levels of footnotes. I want each footnote stream (A,
B, C) to have a different footnote rule (separator): for level A I
want the separator to go from right to left (i.e. it begins at the
right margin, since it is an Arabic text); for level B I want a normal
footnote rule at the left margin; and for level C I want no footnote
rule at all.
I know I am supposed to place my custom footnote rule informtion
before "\declarenewfootnote" (per the documentation of the manyfoot
package), but I am unsure of what to include in the formula for
\selectfootnoterule (i.e. what to place, and where) in order to
achieve this.
2. As for level A's right to left separator, I only want this to occur
(i.e. for it to run from right to left) in this chapter of my
document. How can one define a footnote separator to be changed only
in one chapter or section, and not universally in the whole document?
Many thanks for your help in advance. I have included a sample
document below.
Kind regards,
Talal
