It's the author and editors choice where endnotes go in each specific book. I'm not an editor so I'm not entering a debate on the pros and cons of placement. I merely want an effective way to turn hundreds of endnotes into links (with return links), wherever they are in the document.

Specifically, I'd like to know if there is a good way to do this in IDCS5.5 or in xhtml (GREP, custom built scripts, find and replace - anything quicker than manually adding links to/returning to the endote references!)

@JSWolf, "The proper way to do it is all the endnotes in one file with a style that does a pagebreak so when you go to the endnote, it is the only one shown."

This sounds great!

Any suggestions on how this is done? Any tips on how to do this quickly in a book with hundreds of endnotes?
