Footnotes?

I have been looking for exactly this feature for some time now, as well as a bibliographical listing of the citations. There is a distinction to be made between software that manipulates data (i.e. particular times or dates) and one that manipulates text (i.e. paragraphs or pages). The latter often requires the author to keep track of her or his sources. Netmanage’s Ecco Pro is the best compromise I have found, but no citation component. IdeaMason works, but slowly. I have been using ndxCards for smaller projects. The citation output is rather limited, and the program has several quirks. But it works well enough, again for smaller projects. I have endnote only because my school provides it but it doesn’t allow the kind of text manipulation I want in an outliner. What I lust for is a form of PCoutline or Grandview that has a bibliographical component. I haven’t round anything like that yet.
