Re: footnote-init: problems and suggestions

First of all I would like to emphasise that I am thinking only about simple non nested comments like ; in lisp or % in latex or matlab. I thought of a simple (indent-for-comment) (Footnote-add) but since you also the author of newcomment.el I take your recommendation. Now I should also specify in more detail what I want. I want to insert the footnote-mark, say [1] and the Footnote-text in such a way that it is ignored by the mayor-mode I use, but, and this is very important, Footnote should be able to recognised still the footnotes surrounded by a comment syntax. Your code would lead to %[2] instead of [2, so far so good. But the Footnote-text itself %[2] Footnotes: [2] would not be changed to % Footnotes: % [2] Of course that I could simple do this myself but footnote.el will then not recognise it as a footnote. I think this can only be achieved by introducing a variable, say (defvar footnote-use-comment-syntax) and generalise the relevant code when the variable is t.
