Unexpected Numbers in Footnote Overflow with Continuation Notices

[truncuportakal]

Hi. I’m using Version: 25.2.3.2 (AARCH64) on my macbook m2 air, MacOS. I was testing out the footnote section, when it has more text than it could fit into the section, the text overflows to the other page. However, I’ve seen an interesting behaviour with the use of any continuation notices (CN), whether for the end or start. It injects some numbers right at where the CN ends or starts. And it happens to be in sequence because I can clearly see a pattern here. I suspect these are to show the landing pages in that direction? If you look at the screenshot here

I’ve set two CN, → for ending, and ← for starting. And it shows 3 for the ending CN, and 2 for the starting CN.

I guess it is to show the page number before and after the CN? And if it is the case, is there any way to toggle it off because it looks ugly?

Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, you can’t.

Continuation notice is intended for something like (continued on page x) but there is no flexibility in the scheme. Page number is inserted invariably at end and you can’t close the parenthetic sentence). Some languages also need a different ordering of the words and page number must not be at the end.

Also, you can’t apply a specific character style to make a visual distinction between note text and notice.

As the feature is presently implemented, I find it rather unusable. I agrre with you it leads to ugly rendering.
