Insert a footnote marker with skeleton text. If the user selects some text before using this function, a modified version of it will be used to fill the footnote label text instead (punctuation will be removed, spaces will be replaced by hyphens and the text will be made lowercase).
Arguments
- clip
Logical. Should the footnote string be added to the clipboard so the user can paste it at the bottom of the document? Defaults to
TRUE.
Value
Nothing. Text is updated in the active document and footnote is added
to the clipboard if clip = TRUE.
