Expected

When referencing the same footnote more than once, both references should point to the same footnote.

Observed

When referencing the same footnote more than once, a duplicate footnote is created. Reported here: https://forums.simplenote.com/forums/topic/multiple-references-to-the-same-footnote-results-in-duplicate-footnotes/?view=all#post-2826

Reproduced

I can reproduce this with the following steps:

  3. Publish note
  4. View the published note
