erikmh Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Affinity Publisher looks truly excellent — but I can’t see how to add either footnotes or endnotes. Where have you hidden them? [There’s a small bit of my brain that’s telling me that you haven’t implemented either yet, but I can’t believe that. Of what possible use would this beautiful new app be without such a basic functionality? I think it’s more likely that you’ve hidden them somewhere or that you’re calling them something else and that I just haven’t found them yet. Please tell me that’s right....] Helmuth Pandora, MartinK and jstask 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDaniel Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I'm afraid the small part of your brain is telling you right. Footnotes and Endnotes aren't in version 1.7.1 but please make a suggestion in the Suggestions Forum or add your voice to an existing thread and it will be considered for a future version.

erikmh Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 That’s both really surprising and tremendously disappointing, @MarkDaniel. Thanks for the link, though; I hadn’t found that forum yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a DTP software which means u can create documents with much more thorough control over it. This means technically you can create foot/end notes with more control over them by following this instructions. Create a Master Page > enter your graphical elements on footnote and endnote area > apply the master page to all (or wanted) pages. changeable elements such as pages, date, etc can be accessed through text/edit/file menus and putting them on master pages will automatically adjusts them in every page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is this relevant to footnotes? Ragster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct, @erikmh sorry for the misunderstanding, english is not my main tongue. You are right. Publisher does not have footnote yet. I also agree with you that it should.

JDB Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 As a (french) book designer/publisher, I can't understand how footnotes, end notes, thin spaces or GREP styles are not supported as of now... The app looks fantastic, but if I can't import a text with footnotes... then I basically can't work! Our last book had over 600 footnotes, inserting them by hand just isn't an option. Affinity please fix this! Really wanted to give you guys a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 You can‘t understand, why footnotes aren‘t supported yet? But you would understand, that every important feature of every other publishing app, would be part of an initial version of a new application? This is something, what I, personally, wouldn‘t understand at all … Besides this: A missing feature isn‘t a bug. And you are posting in the bug reports forum. If you have a look into the „Feature Request“ forum, you will see, that foot/endnotes are requested very often. So, just wait, time will come … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using them extensively, as is indeed necessary with several French punctuation marks. In what way do you find that they are not supported? Maybe I have overlooked something, or maybe we can help you find something you have overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
