--- Comment #17 from j22...@gmail.com ---
Not sure if this comment belongs here or if I should create another thread, but
the title ('FORMATTING Multiple footnotes per line in the footer, rather than
the default one footnote per line.) seems reasonably close.

Sometimes we write applications or documents with limited space (eg. maximum
page number allowed) so we have to be creative so use space efficiently.
Usually, I try to avoid footnotes because they are very inefficient in this
sense. But.. I need them!

I would love to be able to format the footnotes to be consecutive. For example,
instead of: 


[Main text]
__________
1. First footnote.
2. Second footnote.
3. Third footnote (and waste of space to my right)
4. More wasting of space on the right side of the page
5. So on.




I would really appreciate it if footnotes could be formatted like this:



[Main text]
__________
1. First footnote. | 2. Second footnote. | 3. Third footnote (note how I use
all the available space!) | 4. No more wasting space, now we use the full width
of the available space for text. | 5. I'm using less than 5 lines now.



In this case, I used the '|' character, but ideally, the user would be able to
set an (arbitrary? or from a set of options) separator (e.g. space, semicolon,
'|', etc.)
