I had actually successfully adapted the text insertion, but was doing
something stupid with the regex. I don't use the reference link
functionality often, so it's not too bad in terms of the mess. I'm
finding that there's a blank line required between each footnote for
some reason, but that's not a problem for me, and I've added a
. "\n" . after the $text var, and it's behaving fine. Thanks again for the help.
