EndNotePlugin

Endnotes are notes placed at the end of a topic. They are just like footnotes.

Syntax Rules

Write the command %ENDNOTE{ note text }% anywhere in a TWiki topic. This will be replaced with a link to the note at the end of the topic. The endnote has a link back to the text where it was inserted.

Do not embed endnotes in headings. That will break the heading in the %TOC%. Endnotes at the end of headings seem to work.

Examples

• You type:
  • Tim Berners-Lee%ENDNOTE{Tim Berners-Lee is now director of the World Wide Web Consortium, and Professor of Computer Science at Southampton ECS.}% invented the World Wide Web.
• If the plugin is installed you get:
  • Tim Berners-Lee¹ invented the World Wide Web.
• And this at the end of the page:
  • 1: Tim Berners-Lee is now director of the World Wide Web Consortium, and Professor of Computer Science at Southampton ECS.
• Actual example, it renders properly if the Plugin is installed and enabled:
  • Tim Berners-Lee%ENDNOTE{Tim Berners-Lee is now director of the World Wide Web Consortium, and Professor of Computer Science at Southampton ECS.}% invented the World Wide Web.
