Can someone tell me how to do this?  Or, is it something that will get
done when my FAQ is translated into HTML?  I don't want to create extra
work for Melanie (or whoever else might be helping with the technical
end of things).

I like the idea of footnotes.  I think Heidi's Geography FAQ is handled
appropriately though -- she has message #s after each paragraph
(Hogwarts, Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, the Burrow, etc.).  In other cases,
it will make more sense to just have footnotes within the text & the
references all at the very bottom (end) of the FAQ.

No.  But my part should (hopefully) be complete by the end of today, as
I'd like to soon focus just on writing the FAQs.  Here's what I think is
probably done & still to be done --

001 - 350 -- Have Dee's messages been entered into FORT?
351 - 700 -- Heidi (I think it's in FORT, but I'm not sure there is a
separate file)
701 - 1050 -- Melanie (???)
1051 - 1400 -- Melanie (????)
1401 - 1750 -- Joy (Separate File & FORT done)
1751 - 2100 -- Joy (Separate File & FORT done)
2101 - 2450 -- Anna (Separate File & FORT done)
2451 - 2800 -- Paul (Separate File & FORT done)
2801 - 3150 -- Heidi (Separate File & FORT done)
3151 - 3400 -- Joywitch (Separate File & FORT done)
3400 - 3500 -- Penny (TO BE DONE)
3501 - 3850 -- Ebony (Separate File Done ------ FORT still to be done)
3851 - 4200 -- Margaret (Separate File & FORT done)
4201 - 4550 -- Simon (Separate File & FORT done)
4551 - 4900 -- Neil (Separate File & FORT done)
4901 - 5250 -- Trina (Separate File & FORT done)
5251 - 5600 -- Carole (Separate File & FORT done)
5601 - 5950 -- Melanie (Separate File & FORT done)
5951 - 6300 -- Anna (Separate File done -- not sure about FORT)
6301 - 7000 -- Penny (Separate File & FORT done)
7001 - 7350 -- Heidi (FORT done -- no separate file??)
7351 - 7700 -- Anna (????)
7701 - 8000 -- Penny (TO BE DONE)

Please let me know if any of the above is wrong.  I'll do my part to
finish up today (just because I want it off my plate so I can focus on
writing).  We know Ebony said she'd put hers into FORT this weekend (&
we have a separate file in any case).
