Add ability to disable footnote feature #590

Open vincenzo opened 4 years ago

vincenzo commented 4 years ago

Would it be much work on your side to allow citations in footnotes? I am guessing it would entail making the footnotes editable in blocks, so that citations can be entered just as they are in other blocks.

dsifford commented 4 years ago

Unfortunately supporting citations in footnotes would require more time and effort than I have available in the near future. Doing so would require a fundamental rewrite of how the footnotes work and backwards compatibility would be tricky.

vincenzo commented 4 years ago

@dsifford I was thinking, in that case, that it would be useful if the footnotes system provided by your plugin was optional, and could be disabled with a setting.

The idea behind this is that I am personally willing to use a mixture of plugins, yours for academic references, and another for footnotes. And some other people might like that too. However, when I do, I get tow "Add footnote" items in the block's menu. Though I could eventually learn which one is the one I want, it'd be great to see only one :D

What do you think?

dsifford commented 4 years ago

Fair enough. I'll reopen this for that feature request, but can't give an estimation on when I'm going to be able to get to it.

vincenzo commented 4 years ago

Thanks. If I can navigate the code, I’ll try and do it myself, and issue a PR.

Hi. I have interest in this plugin being kept alive and developed. What would you need to commit some of your monthly time to the project?

Happy to discuss in private.

Ideally, the best solution for more updates/maintenance for this project would be to have more maintainers.

I've switched jobs last year and I no longer use this plugin regularly like I used to.
