General ⇒ References (extended footnotes appearing in bibliography)

[Rob W]

Hi Folks

Have tried a search through forums and don't think this has been asked; apologies if so.

I'm trying to find a way to include what might as well be footnotes in a bibliography; chunks of extra info that don't need to be in the main text, are too long for a standard footnote, and would look better all at the end. Best way I can think of to do this is the misc option in bibtex, and stick it in as a note. Not massively elegant; is there a better way of doing it?

Cheers!

Rob

You could use the package 'endnotes'. http://ctan.org/pkg/endnotes.

Here is an example I whipped up of using endnotes in a bibliography.

Key statements are "\usepackage{endnotes}" in the preamble, use the "\endnote" command to define the note or notes, and at the end is the "\theendnotes" command, which will display all the endnotes.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{endnotes}
