I made macros to do this for normal links, Google and Wikipedia links,
as well as markdown-extra footnotes, incrementing the number if there
is other ref links. These are based on a command I made in Ruby, the
macro is only needed to insert the link at the cursor position and the
reference at the bottom of the doc.

I'm actually fighting to get my connection back, as an ISP "stole" it
a week ago (!), so I'm not online often for now.

Can I post the macros alone or should I post the commands and explain
how to make the macros?
