EpubCCWhat is an endnote?
Updated:
An endnote is a note collected at the end of a chapter or of the book instead of at the foot of the page. In EPUB 3 it is marked with epub:type="endnote" inside a section of endnotes.
Why it matters when you convert a PDF to EPUB
Telling endnotes from footnotes matters when converting a PDF: notes at the end of the book must stay there and be linked from their references, not be taken for page-bottom notes and moved. EpubCC's engine had to be corrected for exactly this mistake during development.
How EpubCC handles it: because the footnote rule requires body text above the note on the same page, a page made only of small type, such as the endnotes at the back of a book, stays as normal paragraphs in place. Those endnotes are kept as text but are not linked from their calls yet.
