Hello,
I have used LyX off and on for the past five years, and messed around
with custom Layouts and Document Classes, but I still very much consider
myself a newbie. I'm curious about how I might make footnotes which are
located inside of a paragraph be rendered at the end of that paragraph -
in case it's not clear, by "rendered", I mean displayed within the
editor window, not within the final PDF. I sometimes draft documents
that contain a lot of inline footnotes, and I want to be able to read
the main text without interruptions while still being able to consult
footnotes whenever I want. If I have to collapse and expand footnotes
over and over again, it breaks up my train of thought. For this reason,
I often find myself drafting footnote-heavy material in MS Word and
copying it into LyX manually once I'm satisfied with it. Gross, I know.
The point is, I personally would find this alternative footnote
rendering very useful. My question, then, is whether this functionality
that could be achieved within LyX's Layout system, or whether I would
need to write it at the C++ level and contribute it directly to LyX's
source code. I'm not trying to ask for anyone to come up with a
prototype or implementation, just suggestions. Thanks!
Best,
Joseph Burkhart
