Most probably that one of the nearest releases will have footnotes/endnotes.

I love Atlantis, but without footnotes and endnotes I can't really use the product. It would be wonderful if you could bring it out with this feature.

Exactly, footnotes are a must. Atlantis is a good editor, but it lacks this useful feature

I'm shure the popularity of Atlantis will increase clearly if footnotes/endnotes added. It is exactly this feature which students (like me) or authors are missing most. Footnotes are essential to write dissertations or for any other "homework".
The result of an comparison between several common used wordprocessors (http://www.heise.de/ct/00/23/182/)-(http://www.tu-berlin.de/zrz/software/do ... tware.html) showed that Microsoft Word is not qualified to write long texts with it. It was the only program which destroyed the whole document (180 pages), it had to be written once again! So they recommended alternative programs.
I love the securance of Atlantis (original-file+saveguard+backup): You CANT lose any text. I wonder why no other wordprocessor has this triple docu-saving!
PLEASE add this feature soon, so that students and other people can use the great advantages of Atlantis for their work!

Any serious user of a word processor eventually depends on EndNote (tm) for reference management. Wouldn't it be less work for the Atlantis people to make Atlantis with with Endnote than to write a reference manager from scratch?

By the way - if you are a developer for Atlantis, please at least look at how Endnote works so you can integrate the best features into it if you plan to go that route.

The all-references reformatting feature is quite helpful.

In case the Atlantis developers have not yet obtained a copy of EndNote and perused its features, I would like to reiterate the importance of making Atlantis capable of interfacing with this word-processor plug-in tool in the future.

Many people would like to have endnotes and footnotes for school homework, but making atlantis EndNote(tm) compliant would appeal to a true professional crowd. Authors of academic journal articles typically import all their references from a searchable database, such as PubMed, and do not ever type or edit them. The typical paper has 40 references and is submitted to two journals. EndNote saves the typical author about 10 hours of work per article. My boss has over 200 papers. Therefore, Endnote has saved him 2000 hours of work. I doubt anyone like him would consider any wordprocessor that cannot support such a useful plug-in, no matter how much faster and more stable it is.

I continue to type everything on Atlantis, then import it into word so that I can manage the references. I would love to avoid doing that in the future. Even if future versions of atlantis had built-in reference management tools, I still wouldn't use them unless they seemlessly interfaced with PubMed and had a transferable, instantly-reformating feature. At that point, it would be easier to just bundle EndNote with the program.

thanks again,

Next release of Atlantis Word Processor (probably its version number will be 1.6) will have footnotes and endnotes.
