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!

Re: Footnotes styles not being applied to Print output
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:
Hope that helps,

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;
}
