How to put in footnotes
Hi, I hope this isn’t a duplicate, but I can’t find it on the searchs. -How can I insert footnotes in my book? When I just cut and past my sub or superscripted text, booksmart crashes on me. And I can’t find a way to super/sub the text in any of the booksmart menus. -When I was searching on the forum, it looks like there was a footnote function, but the user had problems with it. Does anyone know if it was changed or dropped? thanks, Patty

Hi Patty, Superscript (and subscript) would be a great feature to add and we are looking into that. We never have offered it, no, but it is possible another author was using page footers to hold footnotes. The number, however, cannot at this point be superscript, as even a copy and paste superscript character (from Word, for instance) unfortunately won’t work at this time. I hope this is something we can offer you in the future! Best regards,
Jeremy

Patty,
I don’t know if this alternative method works good for you, but it is possible. However, it is probably more work for you – if you go this venue of custom full-bleed layout to design your own layout structure. In that approach, you could create your footnote(s) along with content.
I don’t know if you have Adobe app(s) such as InDesign or Photoshop to make this work for you, no?

Hi, it is now 3 years since the post, and well into the future. Does Blurb now have a superscript function? I can’t find it. This is such a basic requirement of text and books. If not, is there a way around it as I need this function for my text (without using numbers in brackets). Thanks Darren

Astounding that Blurb has not added a way to do footnotes and superscript yet.
I agree with the previous poster that superscript is “such a basic requirement of text and books.”
It’s closing in on four years since this question was initially asked, and still no solution?
How can you even go public with a text engine at all if it doesn’t support superscript?
Mind boggling. Please get superscript working ASAP, Blurb!

Nearly 5 years now! Please hurry up Blurb. I can’t publish another book until you do… You’re clearly losing money because of this oversight. Completely agree, it’s a basic function.
