Add footnote, end note, and bibliography capabilities
New Feature Addition · Manuscripts · Created by A. Gamer
accepted
Adding footnote, endnote, and bibliography sections would signfiicantly empower writing manuscripts, sylistic options, and other capabilities for enriching manuscripts.
These capabilties can be applied in mutliple ways, e.g.: for someone writing fan fiction where you want to ensure continuity with canon (E.g., the Forgotten Realm's wiki), developing technical articles to enrich the community and allow someting aking to "peer review" of these articles to improve the community. Thes features, e.g., in Word, allow building rich articles, chapters, etc., while maintaining "provenance," concurrently developing supporting documents (e.g., a glossary, notes on characters, or constructed languages vocabularies, etc.). In addition, endnotes and footnotes in Word allow for focused editing. Currently, the best analogue in World Anvil is using hyperlinks, but this does not allow exporting or consolidating developmental notes into one sesction as endnotes allow. However World Anvil has other powerful features that are very valuable. Adding endnotes, footnoes to WA would greatly expand an author's toolbox. These features should be exportable and retainable when exporting to Word, and also allow importing from Word with minimal degradation.The Team's Response
Thanks for the suggestion! This has been added to the plan for the next update to Manuscripts (don't expect it soon).
