comma delineation of consecutive endnotes

Question

Consecutive footnotes can be separated by commas by invocation of the multiple option of the footmisc package:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[multiple]{footmisc}
\begin{document}
Comma delineation of consecutive footnotes fails upon conversion to endnotes%
\footnote{First note.}%
\footnote{Second note.}.%
\end{document}

This comma delineation fails, however, if footnotes are converted to endnotes using the endnotes package:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{endnotes}
\let\footnote=\endnote
\usepackage[multiple]{footmisc}
\begin{document}
Comma delineation of consecutive footnotes fails upon conversion to endnotes%
\footnote{First note.}%
\footnote{Second note.}.%
\theendnotes
\end{document}

How can one preserve automated comma delineation of consecutive endnotes?

you need a revised version of footmisc; i'll see what i can do. (the problem is that footmisc redefines \footnote and blunders on...) — wasteofspace, May 02 '12 at 09:28

Manual solution

An admittedly not very comfortable solution is doing it manually, for example with KOMA-Script's \multiplefootnoteseparator:

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{endnotes}
\let\footnote=\endnote
\begin{document}
Comma delineation of consecutive footnotes fails upon conversion to
endnotes\footnote{First note.}\multiplefootnoteseparator\footnote{Second
  note.}.
\theendnotes
\end{document}

Or with a standard class something like this:

\documentclass{article}
\newcommand*\multiplefootnoteseparator{%
  \textsuperscript{\multfootsep}\nobreak
}
\newcommand*\multfootsep{,}
\usepackage{endnotes}
\let\footnote=\endnote
\begin{document}
Comma delineation of consecutive footnotes fails upon conversion to
endnotes\footnote{First note.}\multiplefootnoteseparator\footnote{Second
  note.}.
\theendnotes
\end{document}

The package scrextend may also be loaded to integrate KOMA-Script's \multiplefootnoteseparator in standard classes.

Automatic Solution

My package fnpct offers a different solution. If loaded together with the endnotes “it just works”:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{endnotes}
\usepackage{fnpct}
\begin{document}
Comma delineation of consecutive footnotes fails upon conversion to
endnotes\endnote{First note.}\endnote{Second note.}.  \theendnotes
\end{document}

fnpct also reverses the fullstop and the footnote markers but that can be changed with a package option.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{endnotes}
\let\footnote\endnote
\usepackage{fnpct}
\setfnpct{reverse,before-punct-space=0pt}
\begin{document}
Comma delineation of consecutive footnotes fails upon conversion to
endnotes\footnote{First note.}\footnote{Second note.}.
\theendnotes
\end{document}

Just a note. I tested the fnpct examples above due to https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/388809/, and I get an error about \pdf@strcmp being undefined, with up-to-date TL17. — Torbjørn T., Aug 29 '17 at 20:04
Looked closer, it stems from the translations package (line 90). \usepackage{pdftexcmds} will fix it, but I don't know if that's the best path. — Torbjørn T., Aug 31 '17 at 14:54
@TorbjørnT. thanks. That's a missing dependency in translations. I'll send a fix to CTAN later today — cgnieder, Aug 31 '17 at 16:03

I had a similar problem and the footmisc package did not work. I did the following

\footnote{note1}\vphantom{d}$^{\text{,}}$\footnote{note2}

It's quick and dirty but it worked.

Instead of \vphantom{d}$^{\text{,}}$ I'd rather use \textsuperscript{,} – cgnieder Sep 10 '14 at 16:56
