+By default, footnotes are displayed at the bottom of the page, numbered continuously from 1.
+Endnotes are displayed at the end of the document, numbered continuously in lower roman numerals starting from 1.

+Default properties will apply to all footnotes and endnotes in the document, unless overriden at the section level.
