A: I took at look at the Island of the Blue Foxes, and there appear to be no in-text notes at all in the book. If that's correct, then we can create a Notes section (H1) which contains the listing of the print notes (just as in the EPUB).

+ | Q: I am working on Prairie Fire and this is my first time working on endnotes. I am a little confused about three things: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. If the endnotes are not at the very end of the book (in this book, they come before the Bibliography and Index), do I still move them to the end of the book? Or do I move the sections that come after it back underneath it so it still follows the book order? | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. The endnotes in the book are separated by Chapter headings. | ||
+ | Example: | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Do I do this: | ||
+ | Notes [Heading 1] | ||
+ | Chapter 1 [Heading 2] | ||
+ | end note | ||
+ | end note | ||
+ | end note | ||
+ | Chapter 2 [Heading 2] | ||
+ | end note | ||
+ | end note | ||
+ | end note | ||
+ | |||
+ | OR do I do this: | ||
+ | Notes [Heading 1] | ||
+ | end note | ||
+ | end note | ||
+ | end note | ||
+ | end note | ||
+ | end note | ||
+ | end note | ||
+ | |||
+ | I'm assuming I go with the first option? However, I couldn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. What do I do when they indicate the same number for the endnotes multiple times? (for example, 1 is randomly inserted in multiple sections). How do I properly link them? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thanks so much! | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: We do not divide the Endnotes under headers, and we use continuous numbers, and do not repeat numbers. We reinsert all the notes as Endnotes with continuous numbers despite what it looked like in the original. Those headings are not make the notes more accessible. You only need a linked note to be accessible, so we remove the headings. There is an Advanced Tip area that shows you how to track endnotes that repeat numbers in the original ebook. [[public: | ||
+ | |||
+ | FOLLOW UP Q: So just to confirm, the endnotes are at the end of the book. But the Advanced Tips are telling me to do the end notes at the end of the chapters instead (by creating a section break, changing endnote dialogue settings to " | ||
+ | |||
+ | I apologize if this is very clear and I'm just getting confused. I find the wording on the wiki a little difficult to visualize. I want to be absolutely sure before I do this, because there are 16 pages of end notes in this book and that's a lot of fixing to do if what I'm understanding is not what the Wiki is telling me. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: Endnotes always go at the end of a book. Footnotes go at the end of a section. Just put them all in as endnotes. I will review the wiki language next week and make any clarifying revisions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | Q: Another question for "Until We Are Free," in the article "6 Unbordable Blackness..." | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: Yes, you can remove that reference. It was a mistake that slipped through editing. | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | Q: L' | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: That is tricky for sure! Right now we can only create endnotes at the end of the book, so the best thing to do is update the reference to the new note number. | ||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | Q: In " | ||
+ | |||
+ | A: You can actually insert the notes as proper endnotes and remove the notes section. The book is a scanned version, so the PDF has the original page numbers. The notes also refer directly to the phrase they are citing, which is similar to what occurred in question regarding endnotes in “The Love of Strangers”. This way they will be fully accessible. A quick way to do this is as follows: | ||
+ | * Cute and Paste the Notes section from the Word doc you are editing into a new Word Doc | ||
+ | * Remove headings for NOTES and Chapter # | ||
+ | * Add numbered list to help you keep track of the new numbering | ||
+ | * Search for the phrase in the Word doc you are editing using the search function | ||
+ | * Insert the endnote at the end of that phrase | ||
+ | * Copy the reference part of the original into the new note section you have created | ||
