In the four blogless years I concluded my guided tour through the Thidrekssaga with parts XII, XIII, and XIV..
These parts treat Grimhild's plot to kill her brothers in revenge for their killing of Sigfrid, the return of Dietrich von Bern from exile, and the death of a few main characters of the saga, ending with two version of Dietrich's own death. (Incidentally, I think I'm ready to defend the theory that the first of those two stories was written in Aachen at the end of Charlemagne's reign. Writing a proper scholarly article takes a lot of time, though.)
My original purpose was not only to continue my research, but also to learn a bit of PHP and to solve the thorny issues of footnotes (which really are sidenotes) on the Web. My 2020 solution, which you can for instance see here, was OK enough for a first try, but far from perfect. In particular, you will see that the current sidenotes can overlap one another; they're all positioned absolutely.
I'm hoping Anchor Positioning can help solve this; there was something with 'place positioned element here, but below any other positioned element', right...?
