If youâre copy-pasting from a Google Doc, you can now copy-paste footnotes into the WYSIWYG editor in the following way (which allowed us to get around the impossibility of selecting text + footnotes in a Google Doc):
Publish your Google Doc to web
You can do this by clicking on File > Share > Publish to web
Then approve the pop-up asking you to confirm (hit âPublishâ)
Then open the link that youâll be given; this is now the published-to-web version of your document.
Select the whole text, including footnotes, and copy that. (If youâd like, you can now unpublish the document.)
Open the Forum text editor (WYSIWYG), and paste the selection.
Weâll announce this in a top level post as part of a broader feature announcement soon, but I wanted to post this on my shortform to get this in to the minds of some of the authors of the Forum.
Thanks to Jonathan Mustin for writing the code that made this work.
