... but why do you use a table to format endnotes? I guess it's only the hanging indent you are after. I'd rather just have a different alignment than use a table. Of course, you are free to use whatever you want, but tables tend to give headaches.

<p class="endnote"><span class="en_number">[12]</span> Louis David, a famous French Painter.</p>

with, for instance:

p.endnote {
  margin-left: 2em;
  text-indent: -2em;
  page-break-before: always;
}
span.en_number {
  font-weight: bold;
  padding-right: 0.5em;
}
