Description Bruce Armstrong 2020-06-01 10:36:26 UTC
Description:
Currently, if Footnote numbering is set to restart on each page or chapter, the Exported HTML restarts its numbering to match the document, even though all of the footnotes become a single series at the end of the document. Instead of apparently random numbering restarts, the HTML footnotes should number sequentially to the end of the file.
the Ebooks have the same issue for footnote numbers that restart each page.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a document and use tools-footnotes to restart numbering on each page.
2.Export as HTML and EPub.
3.Check how the footnotes now have numbering restarts that are unrelated to pages.

Actual Results:
Peculiar endnote numbering restarts

Expected Results:
Converted Footnotes should be numbered sequentially to the end of the file for HTML and the end of each chapter for ebooks.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
The Export conversion keeps track of all the footnotes sequentially, so it should be easy enough to display their numbers sequentially too.
