#### 30.10.3 Using list tags or <div> and <p> tags for jump footnotes

By default, DITA2Go uses list tags for Jump footnotes in both text and tables (see §30.10.1 Configuring and placing footnotes). For numbered footnotes, DITA2Go supplies Arabic numerals or Roman numerals; see §8.5.4 Defining footnote numbering. For alphabetic footnotes, if the quantity of footnotes per page exceeds the length of the alphabet, DITA2Go repeats the sequence.

To use <div> and <p> for footnotes instead of list tags:

    [HTMLOptions]
    ; UseFootnoteLists = Yes (default, use <ol> and <li> for footnotes
    ;  in text, except for those using symbols),
    ;  or No (always use <div> and <p>).
    UseFootnoteLists = No
    ; UseTbFootnoteLists = Yes (default, use <ol> and <li> for footnotes
    ;  in tables, except for those using symbols),
    ;  or No (always use <div> and <p>).
    UseTbFootnoteLists = No

Using <div> and <p> is likely to give better cross-browser consistency; we advise avoiding HTML list tags whenever possible.
