Writing goals and footnotes

Hello! I am writing my master thesis in obsidian. Using the plugin Writing Goals and loving it but it would be great if it ignored the footnotes (got A LOT of those). I tried to %% the footnotes, but in that way they disappear in reading mode. :frowning: The plugin has the option to ignore comments and code, but no footnotes :cry: Any idea?

If this is the case then you have to post a feature request to the plugin repository i.e. https://github.com/lynchjames/obsidian-writing-goals/issues
