Footnote / Endnote Creation
After highlighting text, the context menu could also contain a FN button alongside the Bold and Quote buttons. In export, Dabble could allow the user to choose whether to have the citations appear at the ends of chapters or the whole work (like a bibliography). Great for non-fiction writers!

Not sure if this is still actively under consideration, but I second ALL OF THIS. I love using Dabble for my fiction novels, would love to use it for my non-fiction novels too! Clean export of the footnotes is vital. -

RavenFootnotes and endnotes are also endlessly useful to fiction writers who have long chapters- it lets you put a note directly where you need it without taking up space. Or, you can go the Bartimaeus Trilogy route and just use footnotes in the story itself.

Angeline PlesekI would appreciate footnotes or endnotes, would be a great feature to help complete an already user friendly writing software tool.
Thanks! -

SteinwayI really need FOOTNOTES for the way I build the story. So, the ability to create footnotes and endnotes would be VERY important.

Agatha Krzewinski MergedI would love for dabble to add foot notes and end notes features. This would be tremendously helpful for non-fiction writers.

Cole TrethewayDefinitely. I would love to be able to have a footnote text show up on the same page as the footnote reference mark. Not sure Dabble can support that, but would be amazing.

JimI am going to go to a different application because there is no footnote feature. I am writing a nonfiction book and need the ability to add footnotes.

LouisStarted off writing more of a memoir and have shifted into more of a non-fiction genre that intertwines my personal experiences and I need the footnotes, too. It was also be great to have pagination at the same time, so one can format the page to show the text and the footnotes and how they would appear in a physical book.

JennieI’m a cross-genre writer and currently writing a non-fiction book alongside the fictional text I’m working on. Dabble Writer is great - it’s finally helped me to make the leap from Scrivener which, IMHO, is woefully under supported for non-Apple/ios using folks! Having the ability to add references, end or footnotes would be the icing on the cake for me. Being able to integrate a reference management system into this would also be good extension if possible too (such as Zotero which I use for managing refs). I also support the above suggestion for pagination. Thanks dev team for considering this :-)
