These are just example footnotes, their content has no reference to the plugin.
You should recognise this from the appearance of the footnotes in @Bobich's post:

Of course! – I must be getting old …

Ad 1:
The problem is the new line after the word "If". The plugin does indeed not support "enter" inside a footnote, but this is easily fixed.
The easiest way to fix it is to use "Mend and Prettify all XHtml files" before running the plugin.
A possible solution would also be to slightly modify the plugin by adding flags=re.DOTALL so that newline characters are included when searching and replacing.

I haven't implemented the DOTALL solution. I think it'll introduce new and worse error possibilities, eg. if a note is missing the closing ]. "Mend and Prettify all XHtml files" before running the plugin is the way to go.

Ad 2:
There is indeed a problem if there is a slash in the body of the footnote.
This is also easy to correct in the plugin code.

Implemented in new version 0.2.2. - Download from first post of this thread.
I've updated the first post with a new version including the fix for problem no. 2, and the icon from Becky. All thanks and respect to BeckyEbook!
Regarding my note of not updating the plugin further: As stated in the userguide, anyone are free to make new versions (and share, if any brillant ideas come up :0)
For example, at the moment, there are (I think) at least three plugins for inserting or manipulating footnotes, but none of them can manipulate footnotes inserted by the other; and sadly none of them works for epub3 and accessibility. I have som crude code for a plugin working after the same lines as this one and adressing epub3 and accessibility, but I haven't published it, since I haven't got the time for update and support, and still haven't solved the problem of manipulating, numbering and sorting new notes inserted after the first batch.
