InDesign answers would be best, but answers along the lines of "Ditch Adobe InDesign and use " are welcome. imagine that, in our book, a chapter of endnotes (numbered) at the end are used for references in a references section, and on-page footnotes (alphabetical) are used for clarifications and asides. Please add a new endnote that says the following.". Edits are coming in right up to the print date along the lines of, "I found a supporting reference for paragraph 16, chapter 2. indd files, and endnotes at the end of the book. Imagine as a use case a book with 250 endnotes across 6 chapters with different contributing authors, ideally in different.
Works smoothly with character and paragraph styles, so you have complete control over the styles of the following elements, and can update their styles as one:.Interactive cross-links in electronic PDFs and, if possible, e-books (so that clicking/prodding the appropriate number in the text takes you straight to the appropriate endnote, and clicking/prodding on the reference number in the endnote takes you back to the position in the main text).Updates reference numbers in the document and in the endnote section automatically or by a straightforward process when you add a new endnote in the middle of a document.But a workflow that's robust for most of these that I can then fight with to force in the awkward cases would be fine ) For the specific problem that prompted me to ask, I'm particularly interested in 1, 6 and 8: I can't find any way in the suggestions I can find to get all three of these in one method. I'd drop a 200 rep bounty for anyone who can give a neat workflow that can do all of these.
( I'm not expecting there to be any workaround that does all of these, though if possible, that would be great. My question is: is there anything approaching a smooth, pain-free way to get endnotes in Indesign CS6 (or earlier) that supports as many of the following as possible: I've included a few choice links (an Adobe blog describing a manual method, and two Peter Kahrel scripts that can automate it under certain circumstances) at the end of this question. There are a lot of hacks and workarounds out there (plus lots of noise and frustration). Even on Adobe's official blog, this is described as a "sad story". Documents, books, reports etc aren't going to stop needing endnotes because Adobe don't support them. It's an age-old complaint: up to and including CS6, InDesign supports footnotes, but not endnotes.
