And when you do put the endnotes in, you may find that a "sticky" menu at the top of a page also hides the links. You click and find the footnote you want is under the menu bar.
This is a niche work around that allows for the menu bar and also provides a quick and dirty method to convert from Word endnotes to endnotes that work in a CMSMS website.
1. Write your document in Word, adding endnotes as per normal. I find it's best to use only Bold, Italic, indents, URL links to the web, and endnotes. This will then paste into a CMSMS content page. You will need to manually recreate the indents with blockquotes, and insert images into the text. (Untick the Paste as Text option)
If you have a sticky menu (I'm using a modified Portage theme) then add the following class to your Stylesheet.
Code: Select all
.anchor {
padding-top: 100px;
margin-top: -100px;
}
You will find in that new document, two pieces of code which are repeated for each endnote. My example is using endnote 6.
The link to footnotes has this form:
Code: Select all
<a href="#_edn6" name="_ednref6">[vi]</a>
And endnote 6 will be:
Code: Select all
<a href="#_ednref6" name="_edn6">[vi]</a>
and work my way down through the document.<a href="#_
For the links to endnotes I paste in:
Code: Select all
<sup>{anchor anchor="six" text='6'}</sup> <a id="sixtext" class="anchor"></a>
What you need to do each time is replace the six, 6, and sixtext with the appropriate number; ie seven, 7, and seven text, for the next endnote. Then delete the code which Word inserted, and move to the next endnote...repeat.
When you get to the actual endnotes themselves, paste in:
Code: Select all
<a id="six" class="anchor"></a> 6. PasteFootnoteTextHere {anchor anchor='sixtext' text=' (Back)'}
It's monotonous, but I find I get a rhythm going, and 20 or 30 footnotes is a lot quicker and less onerus than using the CMSMS interface.
The last step is simply to post the code directly back into the html code box, and it's done.
