Feel free to delete this question if it is at the wrong place. I am reading a mathematics text in French, which wrote, in the footnote:

"N.D.E:..."

What does that mean?

I also took a screenshot.

That's a shorthand for Note de l’éditeur (editor's note) and not "Near Death Experience" ;-)

Note that the more common NDLR for Note de la rédaction has essentially the same meaning.
