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.

This is non-trivial.
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.
This is just the "folded" form with ERT. If you want footnotes to behave
that way, you can put:
InsetLayout Foot
Decoration minimalistic
End
into Local Layout, or into a module, or modify stdinsets.inc to declare
that sort of decoration.
