Other Markdown processors allow using footnotes with labels, and those labels would be replaced with the corresponding number:
This is some example[^cn], but this is another one[^another_one]
- [^cn]: Citation needed
- [^another_one]: https://example.com
This would be rendered as footnote 1 and footnote 2. While I understand that some people will prefer to have some control over the labels, I think it would be useful if there was some tool to auto-increment the number in the case you use numbers. Perhaps even recalculating them if you rearrange your footnotes.
I didn’t even know footnotes were available in Logseq many thanks!!
To be honest I hate when Markdown editors change the numbers in ordered lists, I hope there was some kind of standard for lists and footnotes to specify if the number must be increased.
Something like:
This is absolute and does not increase[^1]
This is relative and increases[^+1]
If mixed one together could see duplicated numbers (but links still working correctly) but I think it would be up to the user to carefully mix the two approaches.
Perhaps the feature (or plugin) could be activated or deactivated. I think it should change the markdown directly if possible, because markdown has a kind of WYSIWYG approach.
many thanks!!
