Flag to not move footnotes #34
Description
Activity
I have two open PRs that should do most of what you might want, but there are edge cases that are just really hard to work around. Let me know if this looks good and this is a demo:
mdformat --keep-footnote-position demo-keep-footnote-position.md# `--keep-footnote-position` demo ## Happy path This package uses [flit](https://flit.readthedocs.io) as the build engine.[^flit] [^flit]: Flit only understands `pyproject.toml`-based packages, no `setup.py` fallback. `--keep-footnote-position` leaves `[^flit]` right where it is. Default mode would move it to the end of the document instead. An unreferenced definition is still dropped by default, same as normal mode: [^unused]: Nobody points to this one. ## Preserves position, doesn't infer one (Limitation) The flag only stops mdformat from *moving* definitions; it doesn't relocate one to sit near its reference if the source didn't already put it there. Two more notes.[^one] And a third.[^two] [^one]: Written in the traditional trailing style. [^two]: Same convention, same result either way. ## Limitation: a duplicate label keeps both definitions Default mode silently keeps only the *last* definition of a repeated label, discarding the first. `--keep-footnote-position` keeps both, since nothing merges them anymore: Referenced once.[^dup] [^dup]: First definition. [^dup]: Second definition for the same label.
What do you think of #44 and #45? Would they address your request?
