renumber footnotes #89

Closed yshavit closed 1 month ago

yshavit commented 3 months ago

If I have a footnote [^a], it gets rendered by GFM as [1] — not [a].

I should accordingly canonicalize the footnotes on output, so that they look like the text they'll eventually become.

This should be an option, defaulting to on.

Testing the interaction of footnotes and link references:

[hello][3], world[^3] [^a] [^1] [^shortcut] [^collapsed][].

[3]: https://example.com
[^a]: a footnote
[^3]: this is my footnote text.
[^1]: my second footnote text.
[^shortcut]: my shortcut footnote text.
[^collapsed]: my collapsed footnote text

results in:

hello, world[^3] [^a] [^1] [^shortcut] [^collapsed][].

[^a]: a footnote [^3]: this is my footnote text. [^1]: my second footnote text. [^shortcut]: my shortcut footnote text. [^collapsed]: my collapsed footnote text

So it looks like:
