In this session, we covered a lot: 1) a draft model for managing footnotes in Tinderbox, 2) merging multiple templates into mixed template output (e.g. merging pages, with task tables, with missed text/image layouts), leveraging syntax highlighting and more. This is an advanced session and relies heavily on Markdown, Pandoc, Stamps, Action Code, and more.
Note: at the end of the session I attempted to put the footnotes on the top level of the templates. I had neglected an “}” in the action code and got it working after the call. Also, following the call, I refined the create draft stamp to create a draft that will display endnotes across an entire document for publication. In the video, near the end, you’ll see that we were struggling using the Tinderbox create footnote function, the menu was greyed out. I found that this menu is enabled when you select text in $Text (see Footnote sub-menu). Finally, I’ve nearly perfected a stamp to create footnotes by section, not just endnotes; we’ll save this and a further review of these topics for our August 2022 patron session.
There is a TON of undocumented stuff going on in this file. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
NOTE: My Patrons get these demos a month early and one-on-one time with me via Zoom each month. If you’d like this, please consider becoming a patron.

I’m looking to understand the personal data & identity marketplace—to track leading organizations, people, and resources (strategies, use cases, business models, standards, people’s sentiments, etc.). I welcome the opportunity for industry collaboration. Let’s connect on,
