I tried using formatting (bullets) with bibliography references but apparently formatting only works with footnotes - can somebody confirm this or am i simply doing something worng?

Not English

Steven Heynderickx 14 Jul 2009 08:00

I am building a site for not-english speaking readers so I would like to be able to change the title "footnote x." to something I would like to see and also "Click to scroll down to footnotes". There are certain things I can do with CSS. For example I can hide the title "footnote x." with the display:none. But I need to know the class or Id name for this… can you help?

A more elegant solution would be welcome, but translations are not on the list I notice.

You can use some tricky systems

like bibliography :
http://community.wikidot.com/bibliograph-test-include ( important: you can "hide" the refeences/bibliopgraphy)
or

OR:

it's the title of the popup of the footnote that is the problem

And not only the title, also the words "Click to scroll down to footnotes". I really see that you do a lot of work for wikidot, but none of your references are a solution to my problem, or I am not smart enough to understand your short criptical explinations.

Since the popup for the footnotes is generated by some javascript, I can not find any reference of how it's build, therefore I can not adress certain classes or id via the CSS.

I need a popup triggered by a mouse-over. Since that is not yet made for wikidot, I have to settle for the footnote, but as we all know this has a heading and a footer in English wich I would like to get rid off.

I even would like to be able to select the text in the popup and since it i appears to low it dissapears before you can select it. And since I am expressing my wish, the hover-function should also work for the whole word, not for a number that indicates the footnote.

That's my wish
