I am using Regex, Nick. I can link up to 400 footnotes an hour. I've done 3000. So only 2,500 to go.

This is how I'm doing it:

A very fast way of linking footnotes.
1. Open Notes and Links (in the Edit menu)
2. Open Find and Replace (Also in the Edit menu).
To find footnotes of the [x] shape, where x is a number.

3. Put this into the find box:
\[[0-9]*\]
Select the regexp option.
4. Ignore the ‘replace’ box.
5. Click ‘find’ to find the next footnote. It will be highlighted. Add it as a note to the ‘Notes’ part of Notes and links.
6. When you have reached the end of the notes, then use the same technique to add the numbered links.
