Multiple footnotes

[eliph]

Apparently it is not possible to use multiple footnotes in 
one citation[1,2]. So I end up with something like[1][^,^][2], 
but I would like[1,2] better.

fn1. "textile 2.0":http://textile.thresholdstate.com/

fn2. "textile 2.2":http://textile.sitemonks.com/

Edit: the question of multiple footnotes has been discussed in the textpattern forum before and two different solutions were proposed.

Edit 2: In Redcloth, blanks are acceptable between the references like this:

Many newspapers reported on this[1] [2] [3]

fn1. www.nytimes.com
fn2. www.wsj.com
fn3. www.usatoday.com

[wion]

I just stack them.[1][2][3]

Then use CSS to give a little room between them. Works fine.

But to deal with the lack of comma, I style the sup > a as a subtle gray box (with yellow hover), which also gives the numbers more clickable space too. Works better on large font-sizes and line-heights, admittedly, but that's good accessibility/usability anyway.

I think if there was anything to be enhanced here, it would be how to add a comma between series of numbers if that's what someone wanted. But honestly, the way I style them, I wouldn't want commas being add automatically, and you could handle that via CSS too anyway.

2 cents.

Unfortunately, multiple footnotes with blanks [1] [2] [3] or commas [1,2,3] in between the citations are still not possible in Textile v.3.7.1. I would consider this as a bug, not as a feature request.
