Hi

I tried the 0.56 version on Linux which works remarkably smoothly and quickly with a commercial ePub2 which had even some epubcheck mistakes. Thank you.

A question

This ebook has about 200/250 endnotes. I had hoped that an

Code:

epub:type="rearnote"

attribute (or other of the same kind like "note", "footnote", etc.) could have been added to each note.

This kind of attribute is requested with Koreader (and maybe other rendering engines) to display inline notes (notes de bas de page) which provide a real comfort at least for some books*. Note that a Koreader option allows the user to select either a pop-up or inline display as long as this kind of attribute is present. Koreader can be used with many different ebook-readers (Kobo, Kindle, Android, pocketbook, etc.)

If the endnotes definitions are to be found in one file, this seems to be doable. I could do it myself with a regex but maybe not every reader.

* for example when the notes add complementary information which goes beyond plain bibliographical references and when pretty small anchors can easily be missed by the reader.
