Can I make endnotes in a Leanpub book?

Yes, you can make endnotes in a Leanpub book!

By default endnotes appear at the end of each chapter, not at the end of the book. You can set endnotes to appear at the end of the book with a Custom book Theme:

Adding an Endnote to a Word in a Leanpub Manuscript

​Here's how you add an endnote to a word in your manuscript:

This has an endnote[^^thenote].

[^^thenote]: This is the endnote content.​

You don't have to write thenote of course! You want name the endnote anything you like.
