Mark footnote end in text

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In older Paratext versions, footnotes and cross-references (=notes) had
to be at the end of a verse and where closed by the following text marker
(e.g. \p, \s, \v ....)
2. Newer versions of Paratext put notes in the middle of verses using
endmarkers to tell the program, where the footnote ends.
3. Adapt It marks the beginning of footnotes very nicely, but not its end. 
This makes it quite difficult to work with, as I had in the program:

'... with other Jewish people. in him entered' with 
- the words before the '.' are part of the footnote and 
- the words afterwards belong to the verse

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Put a footnote-endmarker symbole above the text (it could be similar to the
one of a verse, but only without verse-number)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
AI 4.1.1/Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

Adapt It internally does use the \f* marker to end footnotes. Also footnotes are
displayed in a special text color which defaults to red text. So the end of 
footnotes
should be easy to see because the end of the footnote would normally would be 
the
last word of special (red) text. However, I think we might consider putting a 
marker
in the navigation text area as an additional way to indicate the end of a 
footnote,
which would help to distinguish the end of a footnote when it occurs within some
other special test such as a section heading.

So I probably missed something to let the footnote text show up in a different 
color.
In my setting it shows at the same color as the running text. This was the 
reason, I
created this issue.

Checking in Edit/preferences/Font there options to set/change colors of fonts

Now, where to change the one for footnotes? 
Searching in Help for 'footnotes', also gives the page: 'Fonts Tab' with the 
info:
'Special text is text such as footnotes or editorial comments that have been 
inserted
into the Source but is not part of the original document. ....'

I did not think that 'Special text' was something to include footnotes.

-> Add a page in Help about Special text and give a list, what all considered 
to be
Special Text (e.g. footnotes, cross-references, title, headings ....)
Add a paragraph to tell the user how to change the color of special text and 
what the
advantage is of this.

-> Perhaps give by default (if no choice is made for special text) a different 
color
to special text than to the source and target text, which can be changed, if 
needed.

Anyhow, if you add an indication of the end of a footnote (I think the same 
also for
cross-references) would help too

I have added "end fn" to the navigation text of the last source phrase of a 
footnote.
This addition will appear in version update 4.1.2.
