Footnotes?

[igbanam]

As a writer, I'd like to be able to use footnotes to add supporting context to the content I'm writing. Can we have footnote support in Markdoc?

Usually, when adding supporting context to a sentence, one would use the em-dash "—" to denote a momentary break in thought, a somewhat tangential drift. When this drift-break exceeds some arbitrary attention quota — would be nice to get empirical data on this — the drift breaks the reader's experience. The go-to solution for this is a footnote.

The footnote syntax is detailed in the Markdown Guide's Extended Syntax

@igbanam This is a duplicate issue of #70.

I will reopen that issue for further discussion—could you please share these ideas over there? 🙂
