EndNotePlugin

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

Syntax Rules

Write {{ 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.

%ENDNOTELIST% will be replaced by the notes so far on the page.

%ENDNOTE{LIST="Web.Topic"}% will be replaced by the notes from an %INCLUDE% ed page.

Do not embed endnotes in headings. That will break the heading in the %TOC%.

Examples

• You type:
  • Tim Berners-Lee{{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{{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.
