The problem with whitespace regards not the footnote itself, but what
Docutils names `footnote references`_.

I added cross-links for these related entries. However, even the footnote
references section does not explain the whitespace issue - for this you
need to know that footnote references are an instance of "inline markup"
and hence adhere to the "inline markup recognition rules".

I agree that a concise explanation whold help and addet it. The crosslinked
version with a paragraph about whitespace before footnote references is now
in the repository (as restructuredtext.txt).



I would be glad, if a Docutils developer with the required expertise could
update the documentation pages (outdated also regarding the new HTML writer
(now "html-plain"/"rst2html5.py")).
