It is the "state of the art". Currently, only the reference is set as superscript. OTOH, leading style guides say that the label should match in footnote reference and footnote itself: example [1] text ---- [1] example note or example² text ---- ² example note For superscript labels, there is also the recommendation to set the label in normal size and position before the footnote: example³ text ---- 3 example note I would like to implement this in the new "html_plain" writer. Question for the developers: should this be "hard-coded" or as a class value for styling with CSS? hard-coded: put [ and ] into the text +1 safe, works also without CSS CSS-rules: use ``:before:`` and ``:after:`` pseudo-classes for [ and ] +1 customizable (can be changed by local style-sheet) The implementation via CSS rules would also allow to open up the set of allowed values (currently "brackets" or "superscript"): any value could be used (and added as class argument to the label), for "brackets" and "superscript" we would provide default rules in the "required" style-sheet ``minimal.css``.
