Footnotes, Endnotes in Mathematica
Yerex, Robert
I am trying to converge on a single tool for my analysis, development,
and publication work. Mathematica is great at the first 2, and Publicon
seems like an interesting tool for the third. Unfortunately my test
drive of Publicon indicates that there is no easy way to merge the two.
So for now I am sticking to Mathematica and brute focing stylesheets,
etc. I can ot for the life of me figure out how to do footnotes or
endnotes in Mathematica !! I have searched every source I can think of
nad the only useful references are to using Publicon.
Any Ideas, hints, etc, greatly appreciated!!

What mode(s) or form(s) of "publication" are you trying to generate?
Although opinions differ, for some of us who want to submit journal
articles, prepare publications or presentations that combine material
generated in Mathematica with material obtained or generated elsewhere,
or repurpose or reuse parts or elements from publications generated
earlier into new publications, the best way still seems to be to Export
material (graphics, tables, etc.) that can best (or only) be prepared in
Mathematica from Mathematica into PDF or other formats, and then use
TeX, LaTeX, Word, Pages, PowerPoint, or any of the numerous other tools
that are designed to be publication tools as your publication tools.

To write eg. an article or a thesis, it seems to me that you don't
need specialized page layout software (not that word or powerpoint
could ever be described as that). Mathematica can deliver pretty much
everything you will need --- with the exception of endnotes,
particularly with the sort of seemless integration that exists with
Endnote and MS Word/Pages, and footnotes.
I think if endnote (and footnote?) capability existed in Mathematica
then it could genuinely be considered as a tool designed to be
publication tool.

suppose this would just be an inline-text style that would export appropriately (e.g., to LaTeX), but I can imagine other functionality even in a notebook (e.g., display only a number, open for editing if the number is clicked, display as endnotes in a special cell if desired, etc)

footnotes can be added. The development w.r.t authoring is basically
some kind of random walk. Features that enhance authoring such as
Endnote linking was added to the windows version (documented in the
Mac version but not functional!!), meanwhile other features that used
to enhance authoring such as AuthorTools have stopped being supported/
updated. The upshot is net zero gain. Hard to fathom.

A while ago I put together a simple implementation of endnotes in Mathematica. (Footnotes are too hard because of how Mathematica handles page breaks.) It's by no means bullet proof, but the code should provide you with a place to start.
The code can be downloaded from here:
