<DIV>Hello</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I haven't been following this thread closely, but if the task in hand is
creation of a critical edition, the Edmac package may serve your needs. It
allows several layers of footnotes (up to five by default, I think, though more
can be added), and each one can be formatted differently: I have used
run-on app. crit. style in conjunction with two-column editorial footnotes and
full-width original footnotes, each with a different cueing system (* etc. for
authorial notes, superior italic letters for app. crit. [but line-numbers can be
used too if one doesn't want to clutter up the text with cues], normal
superscript numbers for editorial notes). Edmac's system of
automatically extracting the lemma from the text and putting it in the app.
crit. is a little tortuous, I find, so I have always provided the lemmata myself
within the app. crit. note - but the package itself has proved robust, both
in old EmTeX and now in XeTeX (I haven't used LaTeX varieties though have
often been tempted!).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I last looked at Bigfoot, it seemed to provide a great deal of extra
functionality, but if you don't require all that, Edmac might work. You do
need to read the documentation with some care (though nowadays I tend to copy
and adapt macros that I've used in earlier work, so I'm rather hazy myself about
the finer points).</DIV>

<DIV>Yes. For some Sanskrit fonts, I saw it partially working.</DIV>

<DIV>I am a bit new to `tex world'. Is there a way out? This is a very
important feature for critical editions.</DIV>
