FYI: It is possible to have sidenotes numbered

[reitzig]

Myself, I like that I can set the sidenotes labels myself, e.g. to use letters (and numbers for footnotes or citing).

However, in case you want them to be numbered but did not know how (I had to dig a while, for another plugin), this is how you can do it.

We use the context parameter that is passed to a tag's render method. It is cleared after every build, but not during a single page is built.

page = context.registers[:page]

if !page.has_key?("sidenote-number") # something unique
  page["sidenote-number"] = 0 
end
page["sidenote-number"] += 1

I am putting the finishing touches on Ver 2 and it has automatic numbering of sidenotes on each page. Using a CSS counter technique. It will be up in the next few days.
