support Pop-up Footnotes in EPUB books ?

Feature description

Hello, now I have an html file with a commented document structure. I would like to ask if percollate epub supports it? If it does, what structure does the html need to be successfully converted? If not, then thank you anyway for providing such a convenient tool.

Hi @jinshuqishi2019, while the EPUB specification supports specific markup patterns for producing pop-up footnotes, I don’t think it’s possible at the moment to craft a HTML page that produces the correct EPUB output, since the HTML is simplified with Readability.js. Maybe with a --no-readability option you would be able to implement something like that, but it needs some testing.

Thank you very much!
