Several days ago somebody mentioned under this heading that it would be nice to
use Endnote with TeX but that their is a problem with the use of # in the
citations since this is special character. While it would be nice if Endnote
would allow the change that character to something else or if the delimiters
could be longer to switch to verbatim mode there may be a work around:

Macros in TeX or LaTeX or AMSTeX or AMS-LaTeX are usually set up in the
preamble, i.e. the special symbol # is later not needed. It can then be
unspecialized at the begin of the document with:
\catcode`\#=12
I have tried it out and it seems to work but of course it may go wrong
sometimes. Therefore to switch back to the original meaning of # simply:
\catcode`\#=6

Alternatively the delimiters could be given a special meaning in TeX as long as
they are not being used elsewhere (some characters with set 8th bit come to
mind.)
