The footnote caller is detached from the word it belongs to
From Bibledit
If the USFM code is properly written, the footnote or crossreference caller is always connected to the word it belongs to.
This is an example of proper code:
Joseph was a good man\f + \ft Or “kind man”.\f*
The following two examples of code will cause the footnote caller to detach from the word it belongs to:
Example one:
Joseph was a good man \f + \ft Or “kind man”.\f*
Note the space between "man" and the "\f".
Example two:
Joseph was a good man \f + \ft Or “kind man”.\f*
In USFM a new line is equal to a space, hence there is a space between "man" and the "\f" here also.
Many older projects started a new line for each marker, also for the footnotes. This needs correction in the current system. All note markers (footnotes and cross-references) should not start on a new line, but follow immediately the word it belongs to (without even a space).
