Reuse of footnote not possible #179

Open fladd opened 9 years ago

fladd commented 9 years ago

When I have a text like this[^1] and what to use the same footnote again, like this[1], then two footnotes are created in the list below, instead of only one.

[^1]: a test

I'd certainly like this too. In my case I'd use footnotes for citations which often need multiple references. I'd gladly have this over the jump-back-to-reference functionality. But having multiple ↩ characters could work too.

My question is whether this fits the standard Markdown specification, and if not, if it would be wise to vary from that. I do understand the use case; it doesn't seem to be like how footnotes are usually used in documents (as opposed to anchored links to document elements).
