 % \label{sec:footnotes}
+% \newfeature[v1.5] As already said \vpageref{ref:footmisc}, the
+% \pkg{footmisc} package is not compatible with
+% \pkg{ekdosis}. Therefore, it cannot be used to reformat short
+% footnotes so as to combine them all into a single paragraph.  This
+% is why \pkg{ekdosis} provides a mechanism of its own to insert such
+% footnotes in a specific layer of the apparatus criticus.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\SetFootnotes} \cs{SetFootnotes}\marg{csv list of
+% footnote settings} can be used either in the preamble or at any
+% point of the document to cause a new ouput routine to reformat the
+% notes into a single paragraph. This command accepts the following
+% list of |key-value| optional arguments:---
+% \DescribeOption{layout}|layout|$=$\verb+default|paragraph+
+% \hfill\tcboxverb{Default: not set}\\
+% |layout=paragraph| instructs \pkg{ekdosis} to reformat the notes
+% into a single paragraph, while |layout=default| reverts to the
+% standard output routine.\\
+% \DescribeOption{type}|type|$=$\meta{type}
+% \hfill\tcboxverb{Initially set as 'default'}\\
+% The keyword |type| is used here in the exact same meaning as
+% described above \vpageref{ref:app-type}.
+% \textoiquote|type|\textciquote\ refers to
+% any layer of critical notes defined by means of
+% \cs{DeclareApparatus}\footnote{See above
+% \vref{sec:declaring-layers}.} as fit to receive the footnotes shaped
+% as a single paragraph.\\
+% \DescribeOption{textfnmark}|textfnmark|$=$\marg{code}
+% \hfill\tcboxverb{Default: \textsuperscript{#1}}\\
+% |textfnmark| takes as value the code used to format the footnote
+% mark that is inserted in the main text. |#1| is the placeholder for
+% the figure that refers to the footnote. For instance,
+% |textfnmark=\textsuperscript{#1}| prints the footnote mark
+% superscripted.\\
+% \DescribeOption{appfnmark}|appfmark|$=$\marg{code}
+% \hfill\tcboxverb{Default: \textsuperscript{#1}}\\
+% |appfnmark| operates on the mark that is inserted in the footnote
+% block the same way as |textfnmark| does on the footnote mark in the
+% main text. As an example, |appfnmark=\hskip 1em\textsuperscript{#1}|
+% first inserts a generous spacing between the items then prints the
+% mark superscripted.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\footnote} \cs{footnote}\oarg{options}\marg{text}
+% When the mechanism described above is set in motion, the optional
+% argument of \cs{footnote} accepts the following list of optional
+% arguments:---\\
+% \DescribeOption{layout}|type|$=$\meta{type}
+% \hfill\tcboxverb{Default: as defined in \SetFoonotes}\\
+% |type| allows to specify any layer of critical notes in which the
+% contents of the footnote is to be printed.\\
+% \DescribeOption{mark}|mark|=\meta{mark}
+% \hfill\tcboxverb{Default: \thefootnote}\\
+% |mark| allows to print any other mark in place of the standard
+% footnote number. When this option is used, the |footnote| counter is
+% not incremented.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\footnotemark}\DescribeMacro{\footnotetext}
+% \cs{footnotemark}\oarg{mark} and
+% \cs{footnotetext}\oarg{options}\marg{text} are the companions of
+% \cs{footnote}. The former replaces the definition of and behaves as
+% its standard counterpart while the latter does the same as the
+% \cs{footnote} command described above and accepts the same optional
+% arguments except that it does not print any mark in the main text.
+%
+% \danger It is however not advisable to use \cs{footnotemark} and
+% \cs{footnotetext} for these commands are not suitable for
+% \texttt{TEI xml} export.
+%
+% The following example illustrates how short footnotes can be
+% combined into one single layer of critical notes:---
