LaTeX endnotes, degree symbol

[susan chacko]

Hi. I'm a novice LaTeX user with a couple of (probably very simple)
problems. Hope someone can help.
1) The journal I'm submitting a paper to requires 'endnotes' rather than
footnotes. How can I change the footnotes in Latex to be collected and
printed all together at the end?
2) How do I get the 'degree' symbol (i.e the small circle above and to
the right of the #). The Latex manual says I should use $\deg$, but this
just produces the letters 'deg' in Roman type.
ALl info will be deeply appreciated. Email or post if you think anyone
else will be interested.

I use the following, admittedly not perfect style option. I would like
to see a better one.

% Many journals in the humanities and social sciences require endnotes
% rather than footnotes. This style option reads the contents of
% a \footnote command verbatim into a file \jobname.end, whence
% they may be retrieved by an \endnotes command.
%
% It is a \documenstyle option, e.g., \documentstyle[endnotes]{article}.
% Place the command \endnotes where you want the notes to appear:
% after the last footnote, usually right before the bibliography.
% The \endnotes command creates a new page.
%
% The option works by redefining LaTeX's private \@footnotetext command,
% and is modeled after DEK's \answer macro in the TeXbook.
% It is always a bit dicey to redefine commands that you only
% vaguely understand, but I have tested it on my own manuscripts
% under LaTeX 2.09 and it seems to work. I do not consider myself an expert
% and would be glad to receive a more elegant version.
%
% ***************** THERE IS ONE KNOWN (NONFATAL) PROBLEM: **************
% Since \ is catcoded to 12 for verbatim copying, if your footnote's text
% contains an unequal number of \{'s and \}'s, (for intance, if you
% have a \left\{ balanced by a \right.), then TeX believes
% you have unmatched braces and does not figure out where the
% argument of the \footnote command ends. The CURE is to use \lbrace
% and \rbrace instead.

$90^\circ$ will give the appropriate response. I once had a
moment of panic in a class I taught which had a former co-worker
in it who claimed she got the degrees sign typing \degrees... I
was greatly perplexed by this and went digging through the
TeXbook to see how I might have missed this. Later that day she
indicated that it was a macro in a file I'd given her once upon a
time. (sigh)

This may not be exactly what you wanted, but perhaps it will help
somebody. When specifying an angle as a decimal fraction, astronomers,
and perhaps others, like to put the angle symbol (degrees, minutes,
or seconds) over the decimal point, e.g. 7.'5 for an angle of 7.5
arcminutes. Here's how:

% angle symbol over decimal point; use e.g. 7\arcmin5
\newcommand{\arcsec}{\(\stackrel{\:''}{\textstyle.}\)}
\newcommand{\arcmin}{\(\stackrel{\:'}{\textstyle.}\)}
\newcommand{\arcdeg}{\(\stackrel{\:\circ}{\textstyle.\rule{0pt}{0.65ex}}\)}

These work for 12pt roman, but they ought to be pretty close in other
sizes.

I thought this was totally archaic. Is this style really in common use?

If you're using XeLaTeX and fontspec, just type 10°C.

Otherwise (eg pdflatex) use the textcomp package and type
10\textdegree C.

The use of math mode for non-math expressions (because that used to be
the only way to get a symbol and raise it many years ago) in not
necessary using today's software and fonts.

Additional space before and after the symbol is a stylistic matter. I
think it's unnecessary in this case (that is, it looks wrong), but some
people will disagree, and they are at liberty to do so :-)

https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/units.html suggests a space after the number but not between the degree symbol and C, e.g. 0~$^\circ$C~$=273.15$~K, which achieves the desired result with the fewest keystrokes (for those of us who don't use XeLaTeX and fontspec), and it prevents = or K starting a new line. I would use $0\,^\circ$C~$=273.15$~K myself because it puts a little less space before the C. But I am not a member of the SI thought police.

Perhaps not the fewest keystrokes, but readable and guaranteed to follow
the rules is \SI{0}{\celsius}, using the siunitx-package.
