[Footnotes/Endnotes]

Second this...

Full support for Citations and Bibliography using CSL... Integration (Reading from generated BibTex or CSL Json) with Zotero, Mendelay, Citava, JabRef or other Bibliography tools...

There are already multiple libraries for most programming languages out there supporting this, that most likely would be easy to implement...

[Feature Request: Citation Tool]

I second this...

It should have support for CSL and citeproc, and be able to communicate with Zotero, Mendeley, Citava, JabRef and other Bibliography Software...

There is a lot of libraries that can be used for this...

To be able to add citations and bibliography directly in Publisher so that we didn't have to first write everything in Word or LibreOffice, would save so much time...

Full support for InText, FootNotes and EndNotes should be available...

Exactly. I don't want to scout for footnotes somewhere else in the book, particularly, where there are many of them.

Obviously, with a very few notes in the document placing them at the back of the chapter or at the end the book is acceptable and oftentimes desirable.

And I agree with Peter. We need greater flexibility than in indesign.

We would get all the flexibility needed if they would support Bibliography and Reference Tools like JabRef, Zotero and Medeley?
That way we can actually drop Words or other word prosessors for writing and go stright to Publisher to do all our work for books and reports that need references and bibliographies...

I'll add my vote for footnote and endnote support.

> Hope you can implement it in a similar way like in InDesign, . . .

Please, Affinity, whatever you do, don't look at InDesign's notes. Footnotes are at the document level in InDesign, they should be at the level of the story. That way each story can have its own numbering style and start number. It should also be possible (as it isn't in InDesign), to set the first footnote in a text as an uncued note. And users should be able to define their own sequence and appearance of note symbols (asterisk, pilcrow, dagger, double dagger, paragraph symbol, etc.).

> Visit any university library and you'll find that endnotes replaced footnotes long ago, perhaps in the 1950s.

Complete nonsense. Academic publishers prefer footnotes.

> In the era before computers, endnotes were far easier to typeset.

That's why notes were set as endnotes at some stage. Endnotes hung on for non-academic texts and in texts published by penny-pinching publishers, but nowadays footnotes are preferred by many. Footnotes are still more labour-intensive than endnotes, but the difference in effort is not nearly as big as it used to be.

> In today's world, their appearance at the bottom of a page is seen as clutter by most readers. 

In my experience, readers just get annoyed by having to go to the end of the book (or worse, to the end of the chapter in multi-authored volumes). 

By adding support for  bibliography and Reference Tools like JabRef, Zotero and Medeley we would get everything needed, and it the notes/bibliography would be formated correctly all the time, with minimal effort... 

That way we can actually drop Words or other word prosessors for writing and go stright to Publisher to do all our work for books and reports that need references and bibliographies...

And by adding support for bibliography and Reference Tools like JabRef, Zotero and Medeley it will be even easier to make good references/endnotes/footnotes...

Would be great...

This is not anymore than a good way to handle Footnotes/Endnotes and get the formating of those correct, without having to use 2-3-4 different software with different GUI to do the job for you.
I know about Scriviner, I know Zotero, JABREF, Medeley and more have add-ons/plugins for Word, Libre Office and that there are workarounds to get Zotero work with Scriviner...

But if you want to use your DTP to make books, i.e. as me with both design and references, it would be much better to have this thing in the DTP, because it will be where you actualle write your words, instead of writing everything in Word, LibreOffice or Scrivener, you can write all of it in one place, and still have a good reference management, including footnotes and endnotes, to copy this kind of formated text/strings from i.e. Words to a DTP, it makes a mess, links and formats get broken and the job reformating is way more than the job of writing it in the first place...

And if you i.e. writes in a 3 columns format, if you try to get either plain written text or the 3 columns format from another word/text editor, all formats are still messed up, and then add the formats of the references... that will be a lot of extra work...

And I see lots of other comments in the forum wanting Fottnotes/Endnotes,, to add support for add-ons/plug-ins for Reference Tools will be a very little extra, but a huge help for thos in need.

Can you please add support for Bibliography and Reference Tools like JabRef, Zotero and Medeley?
