Footnote Extension

[xoebus]

Would it be possible to add the footnotes extension from PHP-Markdown to Sundown? The details of the syntax and usage are defined here. I'm happy to add this to the redcarpet Ruby library and submit a pull request there but I have little to no C knowledge or experience to add it here myself.

Thanks

A showstopper for switching to this great engine.

I guess it's time I learnt C properly. I'll give this a go over the next few weeks.

Wow, I totally overlooked all the +1s.

Fine, footnotes seem by far the least intrusive of the PHP Markdown extensions. Let me look into them.

Any progress on this @vmg? Realize you've been working on some other cool projects for GitHub.

I'm hoarded atm. I'd really really appreciate if somebody stoop up and opened a PR for this. I'll gladly give implementation advice.

I’ve cloned the source, would enjoy a pointer.

Long since lost the enthusiasm I had when I asked for a pointer.

I just submitted a pull request with a footnotes extension. Would love people to test it out and see if there are any bugs:

@djui Sundown is in feature freeze so they're not taking any pull requests. But if you want footnotes, you can use my repository:

https://github.com/bdolman/sundown

We've been using this for more than 6 months in Day One without problems. It's also being used in Drafts.

@bdolman Thanks! I updated my redcarpet fork to use your footnote patches.
