Changing the mark of endnotes

Question

I am using both footnotes and endnotes in a chapter with the help of the endnotes package.

However, both footnotes and endnotes are numbered by Arabic number.

I would like to keep the Arabic numbers for the footnotes, but I would like to change the mark of the endnotes to Roman numbers, or some other symbols.

Answer 1

Add

\renewcommand{\theendnote}{\Roman{endnote}} 

to your document preamble. Also, taking from cgnieder's comment,

\renewcommand\theendnote{\fnsymbol{endnote}}

should give you a symbol set for the endnotes rather than Roman numerals. There is a limited set though, as can be seen from a subsidiary definition of \@fnsymbol in latex.ltx:

\def\@fnsymbol#1{\ensuremath{\ifcase#1\or *\or \dagger\or \ddagger\or
   \mathsection\or \mathparagraph\or \|\or **\or \dagger\dagger
   \or \ddagger\ddagger \else\@ctrerr\fi}}

So, you'll receive the following output:

1. * -> *
2. \dagger -> †
3. \ddagger -> ‡
4. \mathsection -> §
5. \mathparagraph -> ¶
6. \| -> ||
7. ** -> **
8. \dagger\dagger -> ††
9. \ddagger\ddagger -> ‡‡
10. Error
