So that'd be a customisation layer in the style sheet then? Is this the right place? http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook/styling/custom.html I have a xsl sheet with some parameter changes, will the above change be more complex? Like using a template to generate the correct style and then changing it to how you suggested? > > Hmm, callouts in XSL are not superscripts. > Only <footnote> and <superscript> use superscript. > How are you creating your callouts? > Are you using the <callout> element Sorry it's not a superscript! I also changed the tag from literallayout to para and it's fixed. The original docbook was <calloutlist> <callout arearefs="portable"> <anchor id="main.port.anch"/><literallayout>both in terms of compilers and platforms</literallayout> </callout> </calloutlist> It may get wrapped here, but the literallayout tags were on one line, the html generated contained a div tag when this was changed to a span tag the (1) and the text were on one line. >> Is this even the right mechanism for what I'm doing?

Those little linked notes labelled 1, 2, etc are what I want to do. Thanks, Chris
