<footnote> Footnote

Contents to be relegated to a footnote or endnote, with a reference to be generated in place.
Footnotes, and cross-references to them, should not be used inside <abstract>, which may be exported to external systems.

Usage/Remarks

Display/Formatting Note
A footnote cited only once does not need any special tagging for its reference, which is provided automatically. A footnote can be cited more than once by using <xref> for its second and subsequent citations. Note that the <footnote> element itself should be used for its first citation, since footnotes will be numbered in order of first appearance.
In output, footnotes are displayed as endnotes following the narrative text, any appendices, and bibliography. A generated superscript label “[x]” (where “x” is a number based on the order of <footnote> elements in the paper) will precede the endnote content and will occur in the text where the <footnote> start tag is placed, e.g., thick leaves<footnote xml:id="mul-f2">

<para>With land claimed in the New World, an expedition was mounted to establish a settlement.
  The first expedition failed. Led by Sir Richard Grenville in April 1585, it encompassed 600
  men of which 105 remained in the colony while Grenville returned to England for additional
  provisions. (<emphasis role="ital">See</emphasis>
  <xref linkend="mul-app1"/>.) However, when almost a year passed without Grenville’s return, 
  the remainder of the expeditionary force took advantage of Sir Francis Drake’s arrival to 
  seek return passage to England.<footnote xml:id="mul74">
    <para>It has been argued that the first expedition was not a failure. Richard Grenville did
      return to the colony with additional provisions not long after Drake’s departure, and he
      ordered 15 men, supposedly supplied for two years, to remain in the colony while he
      returned for new settlers. However, it is unknown whether these men were present to greet
      the subsequent expedition.</para>
