In e-text, jumping down to read a footnote, then back up again is a hilarious anachronism that gets old really fast. Ted Nelson groan.
The tack that Wikipedia has taken ... hover over the note# and a floating box reveals the note (and any links) ... IMO is state-of-the-art. I hate wasting time making stuff 'pretty print' - time that could have been much better spent improving the content instead of mere aesthetics.
While the world catches up with WPedia, this 'details' method has a lot going for it.
