What would this involve? (Sorry, I know very little about the export engines of LyX. I spent a little bit of time looking at InsetCitation and InsetTOC to try and work it out. I'm sorry to report that I didn't get very far.) To add an "export as endnotes" XHTML option, we would need to first create a simple label with a link to the note. Then, we would need to collect the notes with a back-link to the original place in the text. Finally, we would need to write out the list at an appropriate place in the document, perhaps using a "FootNotes List" inset (as Guenter suggested)? Have I missed anything? Is this something that would need to wait until 2.1, or is a reasonable option to add to 2.0? Cheers, Rob
