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.
