example output
Books in the humanities often have footnotes (or endnotes) near the end of the
book, but restart the numbering by chapter.
I write "near end", because often index, bibliography, author-remarks follow
these notes (see attached example).
One solution would be to allow endnotes numbering to restart. This would not
solve the notes-*near*-the-end-problem, or add a way to have chapter headlines
between chapter notes. But both of these problems have hacks, not pretty, but
would work till a more satisfying change could be implemeted.
A possibly better solution might be to add an option to add footnotes "at
footnote-anchor". By default this anchor could be at end of the chapter, but
the user could move the anchors towards "near" the end, add chapter headers and
or separators in between, and text afterwards.
I marked this feature request "normal" since it only matters for a subset of
writer users. But for these users the feature is critical. I had to switch away
from (then) staroffice for a book editing project because of this.
