Extension for MMD style inline footnotes?

[iandol]

I know that Pandoc supported inline footnotes several years before MMD, and Fletcher chose a format incompatible with Pandoc when he could have used the same formatting:

#2053 (comment)

Neverthless, would it still not be better to have an mmd_inline_footnote extension to turn convert between Pandoc's ^[inline footnote] and MMD's [^inline footnote] for greater conversion compatibility?

👍

For the meanwhile I used a personal short script in ickc/markdown-variants/inline_notes-mmd-to-pandoc.sh as a preprocessor to convert the style from mmd's to pandoc's or vice versa. But I would love to see a native support.

Edit: since the preprocessor is not a parser, a native support would be much better. For example, the preprocessor won't know a text is in Verbatim (code) blocks.

I get an error 404 when I try to follow this link. Might you, or anyone else, have a script or extension that helps with this issue? (I'm not optimstic that I will figure it out by myself.) Thank you.

They are here (both mmd>pandoc and visa versa): https://github.com/ickc/markdown-variants/tree/stable/markdown-variants
