298.0. "Desparately Seeking Callouts" by WORDY::JENDROCK () Fri Mar 16 1990 17:15

    We have an <interactive> installation example that we want to annotate
    with text and perhaps other examples.  Before we upgraded the system to
    DOCUMENT V1.2B, we were able to use <footnote> and <footref> quite
    effectively to take the place of the non-support of the <callout> tag
    in online doctypes..  Now we get double footnotes and are unhappy at the
    prospect of using the <online_popup> tag as there won't be sufficient
    amount of room to print the canned verbiage that accompanies the tag.
    
    Since the <callout> tag doesn't generate a popped-up window, which it
    probably should anyway, do you have any suggestions? Or does this mean
    we have to explore other Document hacks?

    Footnotes should work under 1.2B as they did under 1.2A, so I'm not
    sure I understand the problem. Would you send me a small file with
    the coding you describe?
    
    Thanks,

    PS. You're right, callouts should be popups...it's on the list...
