<fn-group>
Footnote Group
Container element for collecting footnotes in one place, for example, at the end of the standards document body or the footnotes inside a structure such as a section (<sec>, an annex (<app>), or a text box (<boxed-text>).
Remarks
Best Practice Footnote Placement: Within a document, footnotes that are specific to a structure, such as a table or figure, should be placed inside that structure. Footnotes in the narrative text should either be placed:
- Throughout the XML, at the place to which they are linked, or
- Grouped at the end of the document in a (<fn-group>).
When footnotes are grouped at the end of a standards document, wrap them in
a <fn-group> and use
an <xref> element in the text, as usual, to tie each footnote in the list to a particular location in the text.
