user documentation. - Fix bug: if a langData or gloss is normally italic, appears in a section title, and the section title is italic so one used an object inside the langData or gloss to make it regular, then

wrong font size. - Fix bug: endnote numbers within a framedUnit were not reset at the beginning of each framedUnit; endnote numbers after framedUnits that had endnotes included the endnotes in
framedUnits and should not have. - Fix bug: If forcing footnotes to the bottom of the page and using single-spacing, any footnote indent value was ignored.
- Fix bug: when there are at least two free translations in an interlinear referred to by an interlinearRef element and one is using the “After first line” interlinear source method,

to something (like a comma).
