+ \begin{abstract}\noindent
+ The |sepfootnotes| package supports footnotes and endnotes from separate files.
+ Basically, it provides |\sepfootnotecontent| and |\sepfootnote|: the former
+ defines the content of a note; the latter typesets that note.
+ \end{abstract}
+
+ \section*{Introduction}
+
+ Standard |\footnote| and |\endnote| both take a note as a mandatory argument. Because notes have to be embedded in the paragraph to which they refer, sentences are often split up into two\footnote {This is precisely what this footnote does to the first paragraph of this document. There are more than thirty words between `two' and `or more' in the code of an otherwise short paragraph.} or more parts. Consequently, footnotes and endnotes may disrupt the flow of reading and editing {\LaTeX} prose.\footnote {In a posting to \texttt{texhax.tug.org} in April 2010, someone complained that using footnotes ``tends to disrupt the flow of the document on the screen and makes editing the text itself harder'', and asked about the possibility of ``putting all of the footnotes in a separate file''~\cite{Nicholas Cole}. Another user, back in 2004, remarked that the ``only thing I missed about word processors was the ability to keep footnote text at the bottom of the page, or in a separate window. I often have extensive footnotes, and don't want them cluttering up my main body text when I'm composing''~\cite{Luecking}.} This can be an issue for those who make extensive use of notes, such as philosophers and people from the humanities in general.
+
+ The |sepfootnotes| package gets around this inconvenience by separating note input from usage. That is, it provides a command to define what a particular note says, and another command to insert that note later on in the document.
+
+ Note definitions may be grouped together---in no particular order---in the preamble, at the beginning of chapters or sections, right before a paragraph, or even in a \emph{separate file}. In that way, the main body is less cluttered.
+
+ You may use |sepfootnotes| and standard |\footnote| simultaneously; the same goes for |\footcite| from |biblatex|.

+ \section{Basic usage}
+
+
+\begin{Description}
+\DescribeMacro{\sepfootnotecontent}
+First define the \meta{content} of a footnote by
+assigning it a \meta{key} that uniquely identifies it:
+\begin{synopsis}
+\item |\sepfootnotecontent| \marg{key} \marg{content}
+\end{synopsis}
+\end{Description}
+
+
+\begin{Description}
+\DescribeMacro{\sepfootnote}
+Then insert that footnote anywhere in the main body by means of the
+same \meta{key} as used before:
+\begin{synopsis}
+\item |\sepfootnote| \marg{key}
+\end{synopsis}
+\end{Description}
+

+
+ \section{Advanced usage}
+
+\begin{Description}
+\DescribeMacro{\newfootnotes}
+\DescribeMacro{\newfootnotes*}
+\DescribeMacro{\newsymbolfootnotes}
+\DescribeMacro{\newendnotes}
+The |sepfootnotes| apparatus described above is available by default.
+But you may create as many distinct and independent footnote or endnote apparatus as needed:
+\begin{synopsis}
+\item |\newfootnotes |\marg{prefix}
+
+Create an apparatus of footnote commands named after \meta{prefix} using the standard |footnote| counter.\bigskip
+
+\item |\newfootnotes* |\marg{prefix}
+
+Create an apparatus of footnote commands named after \meta{prefix} using its own counter.\bigskip
+
+\item |\newsymbolfootnotes| \oarg{master counter} \marg{prefix}
+
+Create an apparatus of symbol-footnote commands named after \meta{prefix} using its own counter. The optional argument \meta{master counter} can be anything like |page|, |section|, |chapter|, etc. The default master counter is |page|. The series of symbols is reset each new page, so that * marks the first symbol-footnote on any page, whereas $\dag$ marks the second, $\ddag$ the third, and so on.\bigskip
+
+\item |\newendnotes |\marg{prefix}
+
+Create an apparatus of endnote commands named after \meta{prefix} using its own counter.
+\end{synopsis}
+\end{Description}
+
+\begin{Description}
+\DescribeMacro{\<prefix>notecontent}
+This is how to typeset notes: once a note apparatus of any kind is created, you need to assign a \meta{key} to a \meta{content}:
+\begin{synopsis}
+\item |\|\meta{prefix}|notecontent| \marg{key} \marg{content}
+\end{synopsis}
+\end{Description}
+
+\begin{Description}
+\DescribeMacro{\<prefix>note}
+\DescribeMacro{\<prefix>notemark}
+\DescribeMacro{\<prefix>notetext}
+\DescribeMacro{\print<prefix>content}
+And then use the \meta{key} to typeset that content using any of the following:
+\begin{synopsis}
+\item |\|\meta{prefix}|note| \marg{key}
+
+Typeset a note identified by \meta{key}.\bigskip
+
+\item |\|\meta{prefix}|notemark| \marg{key}
+
+Typeset just the mark identified by \meta{key} without the corresponding note.\bigskip
+
+\item |\|\meta{prefix}|notetext| \marg{key}
+
+Typeset just the note identified by \meta{key} without the corresponding mark.\bigskip
+
+\item |\print|\meta{prefix}|content| \marg{key}
+
+Just print the \meta{content} identified by \meta{key}.
