So I was writing up notes for a reading group on Afghanistan, and it has apparently become fashionable to use endnotes in the humanities. Being fond of Edward Gibbon, I use footnotes excessively. Irritating everyone, I use both while making it indistinguishable whether I refer to a footnote or endnote by a superscripted number.
How to do this in LaTeX? Quite simple:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{endnotes}
\makeatletter
\newcommand*{\dupcntr}[2]{%
\expandafter\let\csname c@#1\expandafter\endcsname\csname c@#2\endcsname
}
\dupcntr{endnote}{footnote}
\renewcommand\theendnote{\thefootnote}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
Blah blah blah.
\end{document}
It turns out to work quite well.
I modified some macros from a TeX Stackexchange discussion on "slave counters"...so I get only partial credit.
