EndNotes

Using Endnotes With LyX

As of LyX 1.6

In the 1.6 series, endnotes will be supported by two sorts of layout modules. One of them, foottoend, just implements this trick. Another provides direct support for endnotes, in addition to footnotes.

LyX < 1.6.0

If you want all your footnotes to be endnotes, this is easy:

\usepackage{endnotes}
\let\footnote=\endnote

This uses the let trick.

You have to put an ERT where you want the Endnotes to be listed:

\theendnotes

If you only want some endnotes and still want to be able to use footnotes, then there's presently no perfect solution. One is to use ERT and simply insert your endnotes manually, thus:

\endnote{Here is an interesting endnote.}

Another is to create a character style for endnotes in your layout file, such as the following:

CharStyle Endnote
        LatexType             Command
        LatexName             endnote
        Font
          Family              Serif
          Size                Small
          Color               blue
        EndFont
        LabelFont
          Family              Roman
          Color               blue
        EndFont
        Preamble
          \usepackage{endnotes}
        EndPreamble
End

You could then choose this style from the Insert>Character Style menu. The downside here, however, is that the endnote won't be an inset and so won't be collapsible.
