It would be nice to have inline footnotes (aka inline notes). Here is the relevant pandoc example:

Here is an inline note.^[Inlines notes are easier to write, since
you don't have to pick an identifier and move down to type the
note.]

Having a lot of problems with implementing this. Basically I can write in InlineParser to filter out the inline notes from the main body of the text (done) but I cannot then add another block level element using that parser to create the actual footnote, because the InlineParser does not seem to be able to create block level elements.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
