Square brackets [ inside footnotes break footnote

[moritzebeling]

First of all: Thank you for this wonderful plugin! And the fix to use it within blocks!

Now: Having square brackets [ inside a footnote breaks the footnote. Which makes sense, because the regex looking out for footnotes found a ] and thus ends the footnote.

On the other hand: It is not unusual to have square brackets inside a footnote, e.g. [...] or to indicate that the editor changed the exact wording of some source, resulting in something like [^Footnote [...] text].

I think, the regex that looks out for [^ should only end a footnote, when it finds a ] AND in the meantime has found as many closing brackets as opening brackets it might have found in between. So after [^...[ the footnote only ends on the second ] it finds...

Thank you four considering.

I feel like counting brackets leads to a rabbit hole that doesn't end well, plus it doesn't offer a solution for every case:
What if I want to draw your avatar in a footnote?

[^   moritzebeling's avatar kinda looks like :]   ]

Supporting escape sequences could be more flexible, even if they might require some explaining:

[^   moritzebeling's avatar kinda looks like :\]   ]

Is there any progress or a temporary workaround for this?

I have added support for escaped brackets inside a note ✓
