 * For two related sites (together they publish hundreds of standard WP pages), 
   I have been using a footnotes plugin that no longer works with recent WP updates.
 * Is there a way to substitute its start-and-end shortcodes with yours to eliminate
   the time and trouble of manual replacement?
 * I have a “global search and replace” plugin. Is it safe to use it for this purpose?
   If so, I will need step-by-step instructions for how to style elements like “
   sup” and other font spex.
 * Many thanks, Anna
