stream_name
The stream name for a new footnote. This can take various forms, each of which uses different other_parameters depending on the option used:

style_name
The style name for the footnote. The default footnote reference formats contained in stuk.3ad number each group individually, starting at 1. If you want to number all the footnotes within a group in some other way it would be best to change the Default show string in main text stream setting on the Numbering tab of the Footnote Control Stream dialog box, which is invoked by tfnote. These defaults can then be overridden by any specific change you want to make to an individual footnote reference using this style_name option.
 
Defaults to last style specified, initially those defined via fnote.
foot_show
The name of the footnote reference should be shown in main text. This overrides show string in footnote details if non-blank.
 
Defaults to last string specified, initially blank.
list_stream
The stream containing the paragraphs to be extracted.
 
Defaults to last stream specified, initially none.
first_show
The show string that will generate ASCII digits representing the sequence number of the first paragraph to extract.
 
Defaults to the last string specified, initially blank.
last_show
The show string that will generate ASCII digits representing the sequence number of the last paragraph to extract.
 
Defaults to the last string specified, initially blank.
Additional Information
To edit the created stream, use the ttop or tend macros, or edit the default text after reformatting.
