Footnotes styles not being applied to Print output

[DaeguKat]

We've added footnotes to a topic successfully, and I modified all Footnote styles I could find in the Stylesheet.

Within the topic in Flare, the footnote styles are showing up correctly; but when I build the project in PDF, the footnotes are taking on the p style, not the Footnote style I've applied.

in the topic, it is showing that each footnote is styled as "Madcap:footnoteBlock" and they are all inside of a "Madcap:footnotesBlock".

Is there something else I need to do to apply footnote styles to print output?

Thank you!

Very late to the party here... but adding a comment so others can find the solution...

I've just been having similar footnote headaches and have come up with a workaround (have filed a bug report).

If you specify the footnote position as 'default', the madcap|footnoteBlock and madcap|footnotesBlock styles are used correctly.
If you specify the footnote position as something else such as 'topic' or 'page', Flare breaks the footnote definition out into a <div><p></p></div> structure. This structure does not use the same styles as the madcap ones.
The solution is to define .footnoteBlock {} and .footnotesBlock {} styles instead (or as well if you prefer). So mine are:

Code: Select all

.footnoteBlock
{
	font-size: 9pt;
	margin-left: 4mm;
	text-indent: -4mm;
}

.footnotesBlock
{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	padding-top: 2mm;
	border-top-color: #dddddd;
	border-top-width: .2mm;
	border-top-length: 40mm;
}

Hope that helps,
Rob
