Expand description

The standard Docutils system uses these symbols as footnote marks when a FootnoteKind::AutoSymbol is detected. They are, from first to last:

  1. asterisk/star (*)
  2. dagger (|U+02020)
  3. double dagger (|U+02021)
  4. section mark (§|U+000A7)
  5. pilcrow or paragraph mark (|U+000B6)
  6. number sign (#)
  7. spade suit (|U+02660)
  8. heart suit (|U+02665)
  9. diamond suit (|U+02666)
  10. club suit (|U+02663)

As the next autosymbol is detected the next unused item from this list will be used as the footnote label character. If n is the number of times this list has been iterated over and s the current autosymbol, then the actual label of the footnote is s^(n+1). For example, if a document has 12 automatically symboled footnotes and a new one is constructed, then its label will be ‡‡ = ‡² = ‡¹⁺¹.
