== Endnotes and Footnotes == Text editors by themselves are not able to handle automatically numbered (and renumbered) footnotes and endnotes. Footnotes are numbered references or citations that appear at the ''foot'' or bottom of each page, while endnotes are numbered references that appear at the end of a document or manuscript. Many people handle footnotes through a full-blown word processor like MicrosoftWord or WordPerfect by Corel. As an alternative, it is possible to use markup commands like LaTeX or [[groff]] or [[nroff]] to support footnotes, headers, and mathematical symbols within a document created by a plain text editor. But the learning curve on <nowiki>TeX</nowiki>, <nowiki>LaTeX</nowiki> and the (n|g)roff family is pretty steep. However, there is a relatively pain-free MarkupLanguage and TextFormatter that can help you, if all you want is footnotes. By running a script in awk or perl to create an output file, it is possible to create numbered endnotes. This is probably easier to see than to explain, so visit [http://www.pement.org/awk/EndnoteCompare.htm this page] to see an example with the input file on the left, and the output file with endnotes on the right. The scripts which can convert the input file into the output format are available for mawk or awk [http://www.pement.org/awk/endnote13_awk.txt here] or for perl [http://www.pement.org/perl/endnote13_pl.txt here]. The original input file and documentation is at the pement.org web site [http://www.pement.org/awk/endnote_v13.txt here]. -- EricPement
