Displaying notes of @type="foontote"

[wlpotter]

When there is a footnote in Wright, we have encoded these as a tei:note element with @type="footnote". Since these notes can appear even in the middle of other text contents, we'd like to see if the App can handle them as follows:

Example from https://bl.syriac.uk/ms/739#msPart2 item 1, in the Syriac title

<rubric xml:lang="syr">ܟܬܒܐ: ܕܬܫܒ̈ܚܬܐ: ; ܕܕܘܝܕ: ܕܡܦܪ̈ܫܐ<note type="footnote" xml:lang="en">The word <foreign xml:lang="syr">ܕܡܦܪ̈ܫܐ</foreign> 
seems here really to mean “of the interpreters” or “translators”. 
See <bibl>Add. 14,436<ptr target="https://bl.syriac.uk/ms/94"/>, <citedRange unit="fol" from="1b">fol. 1 b</citedRange> and <citedRange unit="fol" from="77b">77 b</citedRange></bibl>, 
as well as <bibl>Add. 17,109<ptr target="https://bl.syriac.uk/ms/738"/></bibl>. 
The strange thing is, that such titles should be prefixed to the ordinary Peshitta version, and that  too in a manuscript dated 
<date calendar="Gregorian" when="0600">A.D. 600</date>. See the similar heading in the 
<bibl type="MS">Bodleian manuscript,Hunt. 109</bibl>, <bibl>Dr. Payne Smith’s Catalogue, no. 7, col. 41</bibl>.</note>
</rubric>

At the location of the note[@type="footnote"] could we replace the element with an asterisk ("*") character?

Title: ܟܬܒܐ: ܕܬܫܒ̈ܚܬܐ: ; ܕܕܘܝܕ: ܕܡܦܪ̈ܫܐ*

Would it be possible to then have the footnote notes display in the list of other msItem/note elements, preceded by an asterisk ("*") character?

So the list of notes for this example item would be similar to:

Notes:

• The headings prefixed to the Psalms differ from those given in Lee's edition, as well as from those contained in Add. 14,436 and 17,109. For examples, see the items below.
• The following Psalms are considered to refer to the Maccabees (see Add. 12,138).
• * The word ܕܡܦܪ̈ܫܐ seems here really to mean “of the interpreters” or “translators”. See Add. 14,436, fol. 1 b and 77 b, as well as Add. 17,109. The strange thing is, that such titles should be prefixed to the ordinary Peshitta version, and that too in a manuscript dated A.D. 600. See the similar heading in the Bodleian manuscript,Hunt. 109, Dr. Payne Smith’s Catalogue, no. 7, col. 41.

We can discuss this on Tuesday if needed.

We do have some cases of footnotes in other notes: note/note[@type="footnote"]. We might also want to discuss if this will create confusion if we display as noted above?

How does the current display look to you?

[wlpotter]

I think this looks good -- I'm going to leave it open to see what @davidamichelson thinks next week

[wsalesky]

@wlpotter @davidamichelson Any updates? Can this be closed?

[davidamichelson]

Notes for future development, we will hard code numbers on all footnotes, then display as separate section for each MS item below the notes section in a new section called footnotes.

Adding another example to test with footnotes at multiple layers of the msItem tree:

The record https://bl.syriac.uk/ms/257 has examples of footnotes at various levels in the msItem tree. Item 1 (xml:id a1); Item 5 (xml:id b4); Item 6 (xml:id b5); and Item 9 (xml:id c2) all have footnotes, and we would ideally have each item have its own footnotes section
