Feature request: Support for Pandoc Markdown's inline footnotes about markdown-mode HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks for this suggestion. We now have support for inline footnotes (7499d28), with raised text and optionally hidden markup (669815e).

from markdown-mode.

Thanks--I'll definitely consider it.

Hmm, just noticed that my regex didn't match linefeeds in footnote texts, so it didn't even pass the example above... The regex is now corrected in the original post.

You can highlight by font-lock-add-keywords as bellow.

(font-lock-add-keywords
 'markdown-mode
 '(("\\(\\^\\[\\)\\([^]]+\\)\\(\\]\\)"
    (1 'markdown-markup-face)
    (2 'markdown-footnote-face)
    (3 'markdown-markup-face))))

I'm not sure it is better to support such markdown dialect. Because there are many markdown dialects.

Why? My patch already does highlighting.

I'm not sure either, that's why I asked "would you consider supporting this syntax?". Bottom line: Pandoc is a popular dialect, and markdown-mode already supports some Pandoc-specific features (as well as features from other dialects, e.g., multimarkdown). Those are reasons why I'm even mentioning this.

Update. Actually there's another reason: it doesn't hurt. ^[text] is very uncommon in regular prose, so there's no surprise.

As I said, I'm not sure to implement this feature into markdown-mode. My snippet is highlight pandoc inline footnote syntax without changing markdown-mode code(You can highlight by putting it your init.el).
