Dear gang,
Generally, I do not use endnotes - see Robert Bringhurst's criticisms of
endnotes in typography - but a publisher is demanding them. Converting
footnotes to endnotes must be quite simple yet I'm missing it:
Ah ... those publishers ... so you still need their demands? They should
be glad that they get ready typeset books (I bet they often don't do a
better job themselves, maybe aven introduce errors in the complex things
you do). I thought they keyed it into word eventually anyway. End notes
are definitely handier when they outsource I guess. Does that mean no
more critical editions?
I admit that I do like endnotes more than footnotes when they for
instance contain some more about the origin of some idea (or so) and
suggest further reading ... (1) then i can read them all in one go (if I
want) and (2) it's kind of a test if one can remember what it points
back to.
