The Footer area is used to simplify adding some common text and hot links to the bottom of a group of documents. An option in HTML.edit is to use an HTML comment <!--FOOT > to separate the Body and Footer areas, allowing definition of a set of common footers, called Master Footers, and allow for automatic separation of the Header, Body and Footer areas on import into the editor.
The Footer area is concatenated to the Header and Body areas on export.
Regardless of whether or not you use the footer separator, all of your document's text should be placed between the opening and closing <BODY></BODY> tags. While some browsers are more forgiving, text after the closing </BODY> tag may be ignored. See Document Structure for more information on correct HTML structure.
From the Footer popup menu you can Save As and Insert from up to three Master Footers. You can use the Footer Utility to set up the master footer text, allowing definition of up to five people with associated URLs for defining author and curator credit lines, and automatic insertion of "last modified" date. Formatting of Master Footers is done from the Master Footers card.
