Yes, that's some pretty serious customization. Here are some guidelines for
doing something like this:
1. You'll need to mark all the elements that you want handled in a special
way with role attributes.
2. You should process those special elements with templates in a mode
different from the derfault, applying templates in that mode.
3. You will need to include empty templates that match on those elements
with those roles, but in default mode (no mode attribute) to prevent them
from being processed normally along with other text.
4. You'll need to customize certain DocBook templates to place the special
text, trigger ing processing of them in the new modes. For example,
customize the book template to call a template named something like
"process.endnotes" and placed at the end of the book template to trigger end
note processing there.
Good luck.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Placement of notes
Hi
I'm just investigating how best to handle notes in two scenarios for some
humanities books I am working on, initially for html delivery, but also
for print output at some point in the near future.
1. I have end of chapter notes distinct from footnotes, which need to be
placed as follows:
----
chapter text...
Notes heading
1. End note text
Another section heading
Some more text
----
2. I have also got titles where the notes are at the back of the book, and
contain some introductory text for each chapter:
----
Notes
Chapter 1
Introductory para
1. End note text
Chapter 2
Introductory para
1. End note text
----
I have a different @role on the <footnote>s to indicate where they will
need to go, but I can see that assembling them in a specific place and
with additional text is going to require some hefty customisation. Has
anyone else had to deal with this kind of problem?
I have seen this thread from last year, but wondered if you might have
some other useful pointers and tips, thanks:
