Re: endnotes/critical apparatus

[Daniel Schopper <daniel.schopper@aon.at>]

Great! Thanks a lot, Wolfgang!
Yet… I have some other questions:

- What about a simplified \page inside the lemma (not really common, but 
anyway…)? Adding
	\appendtoks\def\page[#1]{}\to\simplifiedcommands
is ignored.

- How can I tweak the note mechanism to put the apparatus notes inside 
one single paragraph, concatenated by some arbitrary separator (\quad or 
-- or something similar)? (Eventually I‘d like the lemmatas which appear 
on the same page to be grouped in a paragraph) - I guess it should be 
somewhere in strc-not.mkiv but must have missed it…

Thanks again for the effort!
Daniel


minimal example:
\def\doifelsesamepagereference#1#2%
   {\doifelse
      {\doifreferencefoundelse{#1}{\currentreferencepage}{-}}
      {\doifreferencefoundelse{#2}{\currentreferencepage}{+}}
   }
\define[2]\Apparatus
   {\ifdefined\ApparatusCounter
      \doglobal\increment\ApparatusCounter
    \else
      \doglobal\newcounter\ApparatusCounter
    \fi
    \pagereference[apparatus:startpage:\ApparatusCounter]%
 
\startline[apparatus:line:\ApparatusCounter]{#1}\stopline[apparatus:line:\ApparatusCounter]%
    \pagereference[apparatus:stoppage:\ApparatusCounter]
    \expanded{
    		\endnote{
			{\bf\at[apparatus:startpage:\ApparatusCounter]%
		 
\noexpand\doifelsesamepagereference{apparatus:startpage:\ApparatusCounter}{apparatus:stoppage:\ApparatusCounter}{}{-\at[apparatus:stoppage:\ApparatusCounter]}}%

			{\noexpand\simplifycommands #1}]~{#2}
		}
	}%
   }
