Use the method from above to copy the footnotes into the now empty Emacs buffer
and clean them up until you have 1 paragraph per line. Footnotes need to be
hyperlink-able, so we can't just wrap them in plain `<p>` tags, they need IDs. I
like to use `<li epub:type="footnote" id="fn1">[…]</li>` if the footnote numbers
are increasing throughout the book or `<li epub:type="footnote"
like to use `<li epub:type="endnote" id="fn1">[…]</li>` if the footnote numbers
are increasing throughout the book or `<li epub:type="endnote"
id="fn1_1">[…]</li>` if they start with 1 in each chapter. We are going to use a
macro with a counter to generate consecutively numbered IDs. First, set the
counter to 1 with kbd:[C-x] kbd:[C-k] kbd:[C-c] `1`. Then, record this macro:
`<li epub:type="footnote" id="fn1_` kbd:[C-x] kbd:[C-k] kbd:[<tab>] `">`
`<li epub:type="endnote" id="fn1_` kbd:[C-x] kbd:[C-k] kbd:[<tab>] `">`
kbd:[<end>] `</li>` kbd:[<down>] kbd:[<down>] kbd:[<home>]

Call the macro until every footnote is wrapped and copy them to the end of the
chapter or the end of the book in Calibre. Wrap them in `<section

epub:type="endnotes" role="doc-endnotes"><ol>[…]</ol></section>`
[NOTE]
If the notes appear at the bottom of each page, they are called “footnotes”
(`epub:type="footnote"`). If they appear at the end of each chapter or the end
of the book, they are called “endnotes”. (`epub:type="endnote"`). The difference
is that some e-book readers display footnotes on the same page where the link
to them is even if you put all footnotes at the end of the chapter / book.
