Just a user's argument to this topic...
I always _loved_ the "open" and "close all footnotes"-function and used
it a lot.
In the human sciences, people (unfortunately) tend to use a lot of long
footnotes (sometimes footnotes take more place than the main text!).
If you want to concentrate on the main text, long footnotes are as
confusing as figures.
So I find it a good option to switch all footnotes (and figures) away
to concentrate on the main text and open it again to have the whole
context (this is real "Document Processing" ;-)
Of course you can open and close each and every single footnote. But
with >500 footnotes in a text (this is the case in my master thesis) a
general open/ close function is very welcome, as you may understand.
Kind Regards,
Juergen.
