Hello!

When creating a lengthy footnote and not folding it (Ctrl+I), it will
invariably mess up the text-flow, causing the last line before the footnote
to be stretched to paragraph width regardless of contents. I sometimes End
up with situations like

 : Sampletext Sampletext Sampletext Sampletext
 : Sampletext Sampletext Sampletext Sampletext
 : Sampletext Sampletext Sampletext Sampletext
 : Sample ~ H U G E E M P T Y S P A C E ~ Text
 : [foot1]------------------------------------
 : |Here is the footnote text that goes over
 : |several lines, just because.
 : +------------------------------------------
 : RestOfPar RestOfPar RestOfPar RestOfPar
 : RestOfPar RestOfPar RestOfPar RestOfPar
 : RestOfPar RestOfPar.

Yet the footnote may contain information that, while not important enough
to clutter the output text, may be important enough for me not to fold the
footnote away.

Would it be possible to get with custom formats either

1. Footnotes that look like normal text, except for a different formatting,
i.e.

 : Sampletext Sampletext Sampletext Sampletext
 : Sampletext Sampletext [foot1][Foot Foot Foot
 : Foot Foot Foot Foot Foot Foot Foot Foot] Rest
 : OfPar RestOfPar RestOfPar.

2. Footnotes to show the beginning of the text, like ERT does, i.e.

 : Sampletext Sampletext Sampletext Sampletext Sampletext
 : Sampletext Sampletext [foot1][This is the footn...]
 : RestOfPar RestOfPar RestOfPar.
