Re: endnotes: ! Dimension too large. ?? (another problem)

[Steffen Wolfrum <st.wolfrum@estfiles.de>]

A big problem is that the \MyNote notes seem to be not "brakeable"

If such a note is half a page long and all the notes are set at the end of the text
it happens quite often that there is half a page empty (because the next note is too long).

Do you also have a clue for this?



Thank you,

Steffen
