using cleanhtml in order to clean up a word document having footnotes, before moving it into Sigil.
!! Footnotes are converted by cleanhtml as:
<a name="_ftnref1" title="" href="https://word2cleanhtml.com/#_ftn1">
<sup><strong><sup>[1]</sup></strong></sup>
</a>
<a
name="_ftn1"
title=""
href="https://word2cleanhtml.com/#_ftnref1"
>
Of course, this does not work in the resulting epub.
The original doc has over 100 footnotes, so manual adjustment is just not do-able!
