Re: Footnotes/Endnotes formatting

[David Auerbach auerbach@xxxxxxxx]

There is a hard space after the period; you just can't see it. (My
bad, I should have posted it with a indicator for a space there.) 'AT'
stands for attribute. What comes after '<' is (roughly) what should
the printer print entering the attribute. And '>' is for leaving the
attribute. In this simple case it just says print a period and a space.
 I'm away from home, and forgetting the printer file mnemonic for the
footnote number call-out (which defaults to superscript, but you can
change it, or, if you want to get fancy, you can change what SU does).
Oh, when I wrote routines to edit footnotes, the best method was to be
in formatted mode, se for <footnote window, se for <

David, thanks. These adds to the printer file fixed the conventional
endnote problem. I assume, for formatting sake, that to increase the
space between the endnote number and the note, you'd add hard spaces
after AT>. ? Can you remind the untutored here -- and the forgetful
-- what AT< and AT>. mean/do? AT> if the off code, but what does
that period tell the printer?
