I think this is my last major issue.  I would like to know how to deal with footnotes in text that contains HTML.  I can create footnotes in plain text, but need some direction on how to deal with footnotes in HTML:

$thetext    = 'The quick <em>brown fox</em>[fn] jumped over the lazy <strong>sleeping dog</strong>.[fn]  And the story continues...';
$footnotes  = 'footnote for the italicized brown fox~~footnote for the bolded sleeping dog~~';

How would I process this to render BOTH the HTML and link the footnotes?  The [fn] markers indicate what the footnotes are attached to.  IE: the first [fn] marker references "footnote for the italicized brown fox" and the second marker references "footnote for the bolded sleeping dog".  Using addText(), I can properly attach the footnotes, but the HTML is not rendered.  It comes out like this:

The quick <em>brown fox</em>1 jumped over the lazy <strong>sleeping dog</strong>.2  And the story continues...

(at bottom of page..)
--------------------------------------
1 footnote for the italicised brown fox
2 footnote for the bolded sleeping dog

(Note that in the Word doc, the "1" and "2" are properly superscripted, but this editor does not show that)

So again, how would I process this to render BOTH the HTML and link the footnotes?  I would greatly appreciate it if you can point me in the right direction.
