 * You should consider styling the superscript differently in order to tell them
   apart.
 * The default is to show footnotes with numbers like this^(123)
 * However this looks like the number one hundred twenty-three, when it is in fact
   one, two, three.
 * So instead I propose to enclose the superscript footnotes in brackets. For example
   like this ^([1][2][3])
 * Although I managed to do this with CSS, it’s only a hack:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       span.easy-footnote a::before {    content: "\005B";    text-decoration: none;    font-size: smaller;    vertical-align: super;}span.easy-footnote a::after {    content: "\005D";    text-decoration: none;    font-size: smaller;    vertical-align: super;}
       ```
