\begin{abstract}\noindent
'fnlineno.sty' extends
% Stephan~I. B\"ottcher's
\CtanPkgRef{lineno}{lineno.sty}\urlpkgfoot{lineno}
(created by Stephan~I. B\"ottcher)
such that even
`\footnote'                                 %% `\' 2010/12/09
lines are numbered and can be referred to
using `\linelabel', `\ref', etc.
%% rm. 2011/02/09:
% Version v0.5 aims at working as a user expects
% (just cf.~``Limitations"), otherwise please complain!

Making the package was motivated as support for
\emph{critical editions}
% of scientific work from an age when footnotes
% were a standard in publishing in print,
%% <- 2011/02/09 ->
of \emph{printed works with footnotes}
as opposed to scholarly critical editions of \emph{manuscripts.}
For this purpose, an extension 'edfnotes' of the \ctanpkgref{ednotes}
package for critical editions, building on 'fnlineno', is provided
by the \textit{ednotes} bundle.\urlfoot{CtanPkgRef}{ednotes}

'lineno.sty' has also been used for the revision process
of \emph{submissions.}
With 'fnlineno.sty', reference to footnotes
in the submitted work may become possible.

%% rm. 2011/02/09:
% Another standalone package 'finstrut' is described.
As to \emph{implementation:}    %% 2011/02/14
1.~Some included tools for
\emph{storing and restoring global settings}
may be ``exported" as standalone packages later.
2.~The method of typesetting footnotes on the main vertical list
may later lead to applying the line numbering method to
several \emph{parallel} texts (with footnotes) and to
`inner' material such as table cells.
