I've got an HTML page that has multiple footnote references that need to go to the same footnote at the bottom of the page. That is, I want 1 and 4 in body content to both link to the same block of text at the bottom.
Most footnote markup is a series of anchor links tied to ids, but by definition they relate one-to-one. Is it possible to do a one-to-many link in HTML somehow?
You can have a many-to-one relationship with anchor links and IDs.
That is, you can only have one instance of each ID, but you can have multiple links pointing to one ID.
<p><a href="#footnote-1">This will go to footnote 1.</a></p>
<p><a href="#footnote-1">This will also go to footnote 1.</a></p>
<p><a href="#footnote-2">This will go to footnote 2.</a></p>
<footer>
<p id="footnote-1">[1] A footnote.</p>
<p id="footnote-2">[2] Another footnote.</p>
</footer>
