Text Formatting ⇒ endnotes with asterisk

[thymonia]

Hi I am writing an article for a journal that requires endnotes and acknowledgments as the first endnote marked with an asterisk (at the end of the title). I cannot do this. The code I am using is

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{gb4e}
\usepackage[tone]{tipa}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage[ibycus, english]{babel}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{endnotes}
\usepackage[none]{hyphenat}
\usepackage{pslatex}

\title{TITLE\endnote[*]{Acknoweledment}}
\author{author}

\begin{document}
\raggedright
\maketitle

\section{Introduction}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer a pretium odio. Pellentesque et dolor nisi. Donec a nisi odio, vel hendrerit turpis. Donec sapien dui, molestie eleifend lacinia sed, lobortis vel purus\endnote{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer a pretium odio.}. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Proin sem lectus, pretium sed vehicula eget, ullamcorper a lectus. Vestibulum enim neque, auctor eu gravida quis, mattis a ligula. Sed ornare mi non sem convallis a tempus lectus volutpat. Aenean neque enim, rutrum vitae lacinia et, porttitor et leo. Etiam nec sem sit amet lectus ultrices tempus nec ac dolor. Nulla id magna nec lacus mattis pretium. Duis porta ligula eget nulla vulputate ultrices. Donec vel leo et mi tincidunt viverra.

\makeatletter
\def\enoteformat{\rightskip\z@ \leftskip1em \parindent=0em
\leavevmode\llap{\hbox{\@theenmark.~}}}
\makeatother
\theendnotes



\end{document}


What I get is Title*0 and the first note starts with 0 not *.

If you can help with this, can you also tell me how to reset the counter so the first actual note starts with 1 and not 2?

thank you

PS I have found several hints online but none of them work. For example I tried using the command for footnotes plus the following code

\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{footnote}}
Here's is one\footnote{starred note} and here is a
second.\footnote{Daggered footnote}

\renewcommand{\thefootnote}
\setcounter{footnote}{0}

and then tried converting footnotes to endnotes with \let\footnote=\endnote but it did not work.

I also tried $^*$\footnotetext{$^*$ Here is the
footnote}. This almost worked: in the Endnote section I still get 0.<acknowledgments>

You have to provide a complete but minimal example (as always). Otherwise we only can do random shots. And these won't help but only cause a long discussion.

The example you provided isn't a real MWE. Please do as localghost suggested.

In the meantime, here's a guess. If it's only that single endnote, bound to the title of the document, a simple manual approach might be appropriate. Here's an example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{endnotes}

\let\footnote=\endnote

\newcommand{\firstendnote}[1]% The first starred endnote
	{\mbox{\textsuperscript{*}}%
	\addtoendnotes{\hspace{-.42em}\textsuperscript{*}#1}
	}

\title{TITLE\firstendnote{Acknowledgement}}

\author{author}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\section{Introduction}

Some text.\footnote{A footnote which should be converted to an endnote automatically.}

\theendnotes

\end{document}

If the alignment isn't correct, just enlarge or reduce \hspace command in the code. I put -.42em as an example. Change as you like.
