They should be glad that they get ready typeset books (I bet they often don't do a better job themselves, maybe aven introduce errors in the complex things you do). The main publishers are constituted by a multiplicity of bureaucracies where the left hand hardly knows what the right hand is doing. No amount of reasoning can get through to these people. And if you're working with an intermediate editor of a book, the situation is beyond hopeless. I thought they keyed it into word eventually anyway. Yep. Luigi and I spent considerable time on a ConTeXt => Word workflow, but what was so far accomplished is not sufficiently general; it needs more work before it is useful enough to be released. Unfortunately, not even ConTeXt'ers have expressed much interest, otherwise would suggest releasing it as a community project.. So I'm caught between academia (Word or, occasionally, LaTeX) and my strong preference for and investment in ConTeXt.. End notes are definitely handier when they outsource I guess. Does that mean no more critical editions? Critical editions with apparatus converted to endnotes? Never!

(1) then i can read them all in one go (if I want) and (2) it's kind of a test if one can remember what it points back to. Hm, this would make for an interesting discussion. I suppose if a set of endnotes (to a chapter, say, or a book) are written in a manner such that, in the spirit of your 1) they form a single whole, then sure, why not? But if that's the case, I would probably prefer an explicit, structured appendix to endnotes. As for your 2), have always found going back or forth annoying - which takes me back to Bringhurst's rule.. -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80512 ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Converting footnotes to endnotes
Dear gang,
Generally, I do not use endnotes - see Robert Bringhurst's criticisms of
endnotes in typography - but a publisher is demanding them. Converting
footnotes to endnotes must be quite simple yet I'm missing it:

What's the best way to convert the above to endnotes? Thank you in advance!
Best wishes
