Wikipedia/MediaWiki surrounds footnote references in square brackets when generating HTML output (eg.

(and Zola using it) only output the number itself, which is small and difficult to click, and makes adjacent footnote numbers run together unless I add a space in between:https://github.com/raphlinus/pulldown-cmark/blob/5c7881c45c1b9cb35e8c9417f09521f7a517b8cf/src/html.rs#L120-L128

::before/after { content: "[ ]" }
