Anne,
I'm working on Pregs now too and probably will
be working on sexskins so please stay away
from those tables too.
Thanks.
Check this footnote formatting style. It's better than the
example I gave you the other day because the footnote comes
between a word and the following comma.
<para>The interval between conception and birth (or fetal death)
is the length the pregnancy, by definition, and CYCPOINTS is
only place in Babase where conceptions are recorded. For this
reason CYCPOINTS includes rows for the Ddate events which begin
every pregnancy<footnote>
<para>See the <link linkend="PREGS">PREGS</link>.<xref
linkend="Pregs-Conceive"/> documentation above.
</para>
</footnote>, including those that record estimated,
unobserved, Ddates. It may be that all that is known about the
cycle is that a Ddate must have occured because a pregnancy
resulted.</para>
