(Ah well, I'm a recordman for typos...:-)) I was thinking too about the database approach, but a system of replacements would be enough for my needs. It would allow me to organize better the source files.
OTOH for large projects this could get a bit unwieldy and unmanageable.
Yes, that's true. But I was thinking about e.g. an article with long footnotes
Better in my view is to use an editor that supports folding, use a \start-stopfootnote macro, and fold them out of site when not needed (I have this in the Notepad++ setup).
This is a possibility, indeed
Another idea is a lua script that texexec could use to label and/or move all the notes to a separate database for analyses or other processing.
Of course it would be interesting for critical editions. My main concern was not so advanced. The separation between body text and footnotes is the only thing I miss from wysisyg. Best -a-
It all needs thought...
Best wishes Idris

Who doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information. (Annabel Chong)
