Use case or problem
It’s seems when you create an in-line footnote^[content] and then put the same one^[content] elsewhere, Obsidian recognizes it as two separate footnotes at the bottom.
i.e. The list in Preview would be
- content
- content
Proposed solution
Make it so they are understood to be the same footnote so there would only be
- content
and both instances would show [1] in the Preview (rather than [1] and [2] like now)
Current workaround (optional)
Apparently there’s a way to name in-line footnotes but I can’t get it to work. Besides that seems like a lot of effort and thought. Might as well just name them [^1] and add the bottom footnotes manually. The point of the feature would be to cut down work and friction, so the workarounds aren’t very helpful.
