Incompatibility between "ledmac" and "footmisc"

Post by clem tisserant »

In order to make a critical edition of a juridical medieval text, I need
  • a first stage of footnotes with "lemma" and lines-number for the textual variants : that means to use the package {ledmac} (for exemple : "\edtext{Bla}{\lemma{Bla}\variant{Blo}}").
  • a second stage for remarks with numerical references in the main text ("Bla\footnote{Blo}").


My problem is : my second stage of footnotes must be in paragraphs. And I can't succed because apparently the package {ledmac} doesn't work with the package [para]{footmisc}, neither with \DeclareNewFootnote[para]{A}.

Could anyone help me please ?
Thanks a lot.

Ledmac has its own built-in ability to make paragraphed footnotes. You don't need footmisc.

Best,

The footnotes with numerical references in the main text ("Bla\footnote{Blo}") are not automatically in paragraphs with Ledmac.

A friend of mine gave me that solution :
the package \footparagraphX{A} does work with ledmac and allows us to do it.

But this stage of footnotes is automatically over the stage with "lemma". I didn't find yet how to make it became a second stage (under the footnotes with lemma).

Thanks anyway !
