Hi Nicolas,
thanks:
I had actually tried that already and came up with the following regex:
\([^ ]\)\(\[\)\([0-9]\) --> \1\2fn:\3
i.e. three groupings: 1) no whitespace, 2) "[" and 3) a number, and then
introducing "fn:" between "[" and the number: but it is not perfect, as
it still gives false positives; do you have something better?
The problem unfortunately arises also by pandoc still using the now
obsolete syntax of plain footnotes when converting (e.g. latex) to org
mode!
Gerald.
