Add atDocumentEnd option #15

Closed fduch2k closed 8 years ago

fduch2k commented 8 years ago

Add option to allow insert footnotes not at the end of document but in place where footnote placed. By default old behavior kept (footnotes inserted at document end)

I don't think this addition is necessary.

We designed this plugin to follow PHP Markdown Extra and Pandoc. I don't see in-place footnotes in either one. And implementing something new here is just asking for trouble.

Also, there is a possible bug in implementation: footnotes are placed whenever the last footnote definition was, e.g.:

test [^1] [^2]

[^1]: foo

some text

[^2]: bar

some other text

is rendered into:

test [1] [2]

some text

{footnote block 1, 2}

some other text

but I'd expect to see this:

test [1] [2]

{footnote block 1}

some text

{footnote block 2}

some other text

... with multiple footnote blocks. But I think this would require large changes in the code base, that don't really worth it.
