Hello
I've the same issue. I'm used to write historic novels, with plenty of footnotes. To replace the missing function, I'm using a markdown syntaxe as "(* Text of the note )" or {FN Text of the note}
It's not very convenient, because I have to work on Ulysse or other markdown editor to replace the marks, but it works.
I hope Storyist will consider the need of this very simple function for a next version.
If an administrator of this forum could give us his opinion on this, it would be nice.
