Html

[Coppit]

I probably don't know enough about HTML to be dabbling in it but was given some basic templates and then wrote my family history. Some of the chapters have numerous footnotes, their numbers generated by , (with the number input by me in between the codes.
Now that I want to expand it and insert more footnotes, I have to manually change the numbers of all subsequent ones. There is mention of incrementing in HTML Help pages but I'm not sure that what I want to do is possible.

As you rightly said, the HTML codes were removed from my message.
These were
an opening fleche sup close fleche, followed by the number of the footnote then,
open fleche - slash sup - close fleche.
What I'm looking for is a code (if it exists - it does it automatically in Word) to add before the first footnote, so that all subsequent ones are incremented by 1.
Some of the revisions include several extra footnotes and in a lengthy doc are difficult to spot. Highlighting these superscripts in colour helps to find and alter them, but they all revert to black every time a Save is done.
