Dear Fellow \LaTex{}nocrats,
Thank you very much for helping so much with getting my thesis set up.
Using the following code for Reledmac below, I am trying to achieve (add the following):
a) reduce the space between the 2 columns in the footnotes so that with a max of four digits, there is still 2em between the right side of the left column and the 1000 marker of the reference to the right column b) At the moment, the footnotes are displayed in the following way:
Main text runs here, Main text continues here
---------------------------------------------
99 First line left column 101 First line second column
Second line left column Second line right column
100 Second fn first line
Second fn second
What would be great, is if it were possible to have it displayed like this:
Main text runs here, Main text continues here...
---------------------------------------------...
99 Line one of fn 1 left side 101 Line one of fn 1 right side.
Line two of fn 1 left side Line two of fn 1 right side
100 Line one of fn 2 left side 102 etc.
Line two of fn 2 left side
c) even out the length of each column so that they are two similar sized blocks (e.g. by enabling column-break in the last footnote of the left column, so that it extends over to the top of the right one
Thank you for your time and help!
PS: If eledmac were any easier, I could resort to it as well
