Inline footnote support

[sati-bodhi]

Footnotes in markdown, given by ^[Enter footnote here. ], are left without a corresponding scope, and therefore no syntax highlighting. So I presume language-markdown does not currently support footnotes in the above form.

Can this feature be added? I tried writing a patch myself but the ] in nested citations [@authoryear] often get mistaken to be the closing parenthesis of the footnote.

I've implemented the Markdown Extra footnotes, which have the ^ inside the square brackets, for example [^Enter footnote here], see: https://github.com/burodepeper/language-markdown/blob/master/grammars/repositories/inlines/link-label.cson

From what spec do you get your notation?

[sati-bodhi]

It's from the pandoc specification for inline notes.

I think language-pfm does the job correctly, but it is not so consistent in picking up citation references (given by the scope reference.variable.md).

Okay. I'll have a look.

I have the same problem here : ^[xxx] is not highlighted in language-markdown.
