Possible to use endnotes instead of footnotes for PDF?

[DamonCharlesRoberts]

I footnotes in a manuscript that I am writing. However, for some awful reason, the journal is requesting that my footnotes be replaced as endnotes. Is there a way to turn my footnotes into endnotes?

The best solution will be for you to write a filter to catch Note AST elements, collect all of them, and then create a new section in the end with all of their content. It's doable, but will require some Lua: https://pandoc.org/lua-filters.html#type-note

It might be much easier than that. Take a look at this comment in a pandoc issue: jgm/pandoc#4041 (comment)

That last recommendation worked for me!

For reference for others:

I have a larger .tex template that I am working with and I just added:

%% If need to use endnotes instead of footnotes
$if(params.endnotes)$
	\usepackage{endnotes}
	\let\footnote=\endnote
$else$

$endif$

to my preamble, and then at the end of the template, just added:

$if(params.endnotes)$
    \newpage
    \theendnotes
$endif$

Then in the yaml of my .qmd file, I just added:

---
params:
    endnotes: true
---

I've got a full working example here for reference: https://github.com/DamonCharlesRoberts/quarto_templates/tree/main/manuscripts

This is great, thank you for expanding on my very minimal pointer!
