How do I designate the footnotes that are mine inside a quote?
I tried "our note", "note ours" and "remark is ours". Which one is the correct one and most commonly used? Or is there some other way?
For example:
He provides an argument for it:
"Before the Greeks, the ancient Egyptians
used it[1] in the construction of their great pyramids."
------
[1] The Golden Section - note ours. <-- this is MY (drozzy's) note, not the original author's
So you can see there is my note inside a quote.
Or if I have something without a footnote.
He provides an argument for it:
"Before the Greeks, the ancient Egyptians
used it (Golden Section - note ours) in
the construction of their great pyramids."
Note where I use note ours, to clarify that it is a Golden Section.
Any help appreciated.
