i realize some of you may have thought i was joking when i said one of the things that made me excited about leaving substack was control over how my footnotes and references look
@slepkin sort of yes to both. I write my post in their regular editor and use "[#fn-uniquename]" and "[fn-uniquename]: Footnote content" for the anchors and footnote content. Then at the end I run a script to convert the in-text references into the proper HTML and number everything.
@molly0xfff This is where reading an ebook is absolute murder. I was trying to read Kuang's Babel last month, and all the footnotes got turned into end notes, and the Libby app makes going back and forth from text to end notes a complete nightmare.
