Setting footnote numbering in Bangla

Initiator
Hi,

I've checked out the documentation for footnotes in PrinceXML, but there's no mention of numbering in non-English languages.

Is it possible to number the footnotes in Bangla?

Thanks!

You can use a script function for the counter style, the same as page numbering, as we discussed earlier. :)

The documentation on footnotes says "Prince automatically generates footnote markers, the numeric markers placed in front of the footnote text. "

Will I be able to translate that too?

Yes. For example, if you use <span class="fn"> for footnotes:
span.fn::footnote-call { content: ... }
span.fn::footnote-marker { content: ... }

where you replace the ... with the appropriate counter, or call to prince-script().

Awesome, Mike! That works.
