Reply To: Footnote Special Character / Marker

When I only do the footnote the number doesn’t show up. For instance, with this code below:

var footnote = tf.footnotes.add(LocationOptions.AFTER, location)
footnote.contents = text.toString()

It only shows like this:

” text from the footnote”

The number in the text shows up properly, but the actual footnote at the bottom of the page doesn’t show. Someone would need to manually count the footnotes to know which one they’re reading.

I am expecting it to show up like:

“1 text from the footnote”

Does this make sense? That’s why I am looking to insert the footnote special character with the script. I understand that the footnote special character is already added when you create it in the UI though.
