I think by convention, footnotes should be put on bottom of the doc.
Hmm, a quick and unscientific sample of Documentation/ suggests that
many/most existing examples put the footnote shortly after the
reference or at the end of the section, roughly as I did here. I
looked at five rST files found by "grep \[#\]_" and all of them had
the footnote body close to the reference.
The placement of the footnote text in the generated output is up to
the stylesheet / renderer, of course.
We certainly have no established convention in this area as far as I
know, and I'm not convinced we need one.
Bagas, could I ask you please to focus a bit more on doing useful work
and less on telling others how they should be working?
Thanks,
jon
