I understand that the premium version supports footnotes. By client requires endnotes (i.e. all footnote text appears at the end of the document).
I have implemented an endnote system in WPT5 using bookmarks with naming conventions, e.g. BOOK001, BOOK002, etc. This, together with a rountine to renumber all of the endnote bookmarks in the document, does give me the desired result - but not without a few quirks and glitches.
I was hoping for native support for this feature in the WPT product. Is this being considered for a future release?
It is often the case for this client that the endnotes would span multiple pages. My solution was to simply append the endnotes to the end of the document as protected/bookmarked text. As notes were inserted/deleted, I exceuted a routine that deleted all of the bookmarks and then re-added them in the correct order.
In the example below, I have bookmarks in the main document with related bookmarks that are automatically inserted at the end of the document. The bookmarks are named with similar names so that I can track their associations. As the user inserts/deletes these special bookmarks in the main document, the ABOOKs are re-created in the same order as they appear in the document. The rountine also adds superscripted reference numbers to both parts, which are renumbered after each edit.
Example:
This is some <BOOK1>text</> in the main part of the <BOOK2>document</> that the user can edit.
This is the last line of the document.
<ABOOK1>This is the end note text for note 1</>
<ABOOK2>This is the endnote text for note 2</>
The concept does not allow splitting up a layer on several pages. So it is not possible to have endnotes which are longer than one page when thes should use the existing layer technology which is used for footnotes.
Your concept seems to be pretty good. Why would "true" end notes be better?
