Hello!

Since FM doesn't support different types of footnote numbering, I
wanted to trick it in doing so by hand. So I selected Numbering ->
Footnote -> Special and entered the numbers as they should appear in
the text, like 1 2 3 a b 4 c 5.

The problem now is, that FM sees the <space> characters as valid
footnote numbers, too. So my footnotes now go 1 nothing 2 nothing etc.
Only if I remove the spaces, I get the appropriate behavior.

That in itself wouldn't throw me off, but I have footnote numbers with
two digits also, like 12, 13 etc., which are numbered in the document
as 1, 2, 1, 3.

How does FM separate footnote numbers? Is there a special character? I
have tried Comas and Semicolons so far.

Any help is very welcome. Thank you, Michael
