Footnotes used to be one of the weakest parts of the ebook reading experience, but InDesign now offers sophisticated options to improve footnote handling. In this online video, you'll learn how to make a pop-up footnote for your ebook that appears above the body document, allowing the user to quickly view the reference without breaking away from their reading position.
- When you're working with a publication that has footnotes,…those footnotes can be easily transferred to an ebook,…when you export this document to the epub format.…There's a cool new feature in InDesign CC…that lets you export footnotes…to become a popup, as opposed to a traditional footnote.…Let me show you how that's done.…First of all, let's take a look at our regular footnote…here in this very simple text-only document.…I'm going to zoom in a bit.…You can see we have a tiny little footnote reference…right up here, that leads to the footnote text…at the bottom of the text frame, as is usual.…
This is according to the history of Flemish art, up there.…Now we're going to export this to epub.…So I go to the file menu and choose export.…We're going to choose reflowable epub here,…save it on the desktop.…The area where you choose…the kind of footnote that you want…is a little different in the latest version…of InDesign CC 2014.…It's right here in the text panel.…They've divied this up into two additional panels,…
