How to convert end-notes to foot-notes
Hi all
Do you know a rather simple way to convert endnotes to footnotes ? I have an epub with several hundred of notes, all grouped in one html file. When I read that book on Kindle or Kobo, accessing to notes is very slow, probably because all notes are in a single file. So I would like to move notes at the end of chapters. Any idea ? TIA |

Why do you need them to be at the end of the chapters? You can split each note into its own file and keep them at end of the book. I've seen this in a number of books. To do this:
If you need help with the regex, you can post a sample of an endnote here. |

The last ebook I edited which had multiple footnotes in one file, I ending up splitting the file into 5 chunks with ~50 footnotes in each to reduce the size of the individual files without giving each footnote it's individual file.
Since I did this as a manual process, I opened the original file, divided the line count by 5, went to the 80% mark, pasted a Sigil split marker ( <hr class="sigilChapterBreak" /> ), went to 60%, 40% and 20% and repeated the paste. I then did hit f6 to do a split on markers and it was done. The only issue I ran into was that while this looked good with pop-up footnotes, for non-pop-up footnotes, I ended up copying 6 or 7 footnotes so they were 1-to-1 and not the original many-to-1. |

Tank you for your quick answers.
I hadn't thought of splitting up the very large endnotes file. So that's what I did, then replaced the fragments at the end of the relevant files. And Calibre recalculated the links all by itself. It's magical. Thanks again |
