Re: [docbook-apps] Placement of notes

Yes, that's some pretty serious customization.  Here are some guidelines for 
doing something like this:

1.  You'll need to mark all the elements that you want handled in a special 
way with role attributes.

2.  You should process those special elements with templates in a mode 
different from the derfault, applying templates in that mode.

3.  You will need to include empty templates that match on those elements 
with those roles, but in default mode (no mode attribute) to prevent them 
from being processed normally along with other text.

4.  You'll need to customize certain DocBook templates to place the special 
text, trigger ing processing of them in the new modes.  For example, 
customize the book template to call a template named something like 
"process.endnotes" and placed at the end of the book template to trigger end 
note processing there.

Good luck.
