FootNote macro for wiki markup

Description

The FootNoteMacro automatically collates1 and generates footnotes.

To use it, simply call the FootNoteMacro with the footnote content2 as the only argument to the macro:

[[FootNote(This is a footnote)]]

Footnotes are numbered by the order in which they appear.

To create a reference to an existing footnote, pass the footnote number as the only argument to the macro:

[[FootNote(1)]]

In addition, identical footnotes are coalesced into one entry. The following will generate one footnote entry with two references:

Some text[[FootNote(A footnote)]] and some more text [[FootNote(A footnote)]].

[[FootNote]]

And finally, to display a list of foot-notes call the macro with no arguments:

[[FootNote]]

Once a set of footnotes has been displayed, a complete new set of footnotes can be created. This allows multiple sets of footnotes per page.
