The footnote caller touches the next word

From Bibledit

This problem occurs when there are many footnotes per page, and the footnote numbering restarts every page.

Bibledit does not know how many footnotes go in one page. Yet it has to assign space for the footnote caller, and normally gives it the space of one character. This is because normally there are not too many footnotes on a page, so the numbering stays within 1 to 9. However, if there are more footnotes per page, and the numbers go as high as 10 and up, it needs the space of two characters. As said Bibledit does not know this, because the formatter, XEP, lays the text out on the pages. This is where the problem starts.

To solve this, give the footnote caller more space. This can be done in the stylesheet editor. Tick the option "Allow double space for the note caller". This setting is found while editing the Footnote, marker \f.

The same story applies to the Crossreference. The setting can be made while editing the \x marker.

If the caller at the bottom of the page touches the footnote text, then you can increase the left margin of the footnote text. In the stylesheet editor, edit the left margin of the Text, marker \ft, and if necessary also for the Paragraph Mark, marker \fp.

Same applies to the Crossreferences. Make the setting under marker \xt.
