Yes, you are right it is not at this point. However, I post-process
this removing everything inside the fn tags and replacing the text with
just a footnote link. The paragraph then shows up in a complete
different place (the footnote) where it is not a paragraph within a
paragraph. In other words, whatever is in footnotes, isn't really
there. So, I'd like to tell the computer "this looks wrong to you
but trust me, it's not". ;)

I'm happy to consider a different way of handling footnotes as long as
it is user-friendly. What I'm currently doing was inspired by LaTeX
which also puts the footnote inline and then only moves the text in the
right place when the typesetting process happens.

Cheers,
Christian
