Bad handling of footnotes in the ascii export

[sven@…]

As proposed in [1] filling this one in the bugzilla.

if you export a document with footnotes to ascii the handling still
suboptimal.

If you've a a construction like
"This is a first sentence[And here is a footnote.]."

The export will look like:

---

This is a first sentence

And here is a footnote.
.

---

You can see that the final dot is in the wrong line after the
footnote.

While I have to agree that the original ugly format is gone, it'd like to argue that it's not much improved now.
As you can see in my sample you now have the closing square bracket on a new line instead of a left over dot.

[ps]

and what format is correct in your opinion?
the current format is:
text [footnote:\ntext_of_foot\n]text

[Richard Heck]

It seems pretty good to me as it is. It's easy enough to write a simple filter to fix it up, if that's what one wants to do.

[Sven Hoexter]

I guess 'correct' lies here in the eye of the beholder.

I'd say something like

text [footnote: text_of_footnote]\ntext

would look way better. The ugly part I don't get is the linebreak before the closing bracket. I would insert a linebreak after the closing bracket. But honestly I've no education in typesetting so my opinion could be completly wrong from a professional point of view.

[ps]

in that case we should perhaps drop even the last \n no?
but it would be hard to find optimal case. newliners looks pretier on lengthy footnotes while insets without \n look pretier with short footnotes...

[Richard Heck]

New line after the bracket is maybe best? I.e.:

Here is some text.[footnote: This is the text
of the footnote.]
Now we continue the main body.

I'm not sure it hugely matters....

I think this is a matter of taste, really, and is not going to get attention.
