Footnotes Area

Describes the layout and the content of the area containing the footnotes of a page or the endnotes of a section/document (see footnote-placement).

Please note that some styling options are only available to PDF export. Elements inside a footnote can be styled by using a relative style selector on inline-footnote, such as inline-footnote paragraph { … }.
