Description

This bug is similar to Automatic table of contents (auto-TOC) shows calls to SUP plugin as regular text, but about the FOOTNOTE plugin instead of SUP. As explained there:

The auto-TOC implementation does not know how to deal with advanced titles. When titles contain plugin calls, since the links can't contain HTML, auto-TOC just strips HTML tags (see the declaration of aText in autoToc.js (var aText = $.trim($this.text());), which may or may not give a valid result.


For FOOTNOTE, this causes the footnote number to be displayed raw (not in superscript), and clicking on the number brings to the section, rather than to the footnote. For example, with the following heading:
! Buggy{FOOTNOTE()}For now{FOOTNOTE} heading
...the TOC entry would just display a raw "Buggy1 heading".

I believe it would be best to hide the number, as Microsoft Word 2013 does in TOC-s. Otherwise, it should be in superscript.

This bug (like #6703) is similar to its maketoc pseudo-equivalent: Tables of Contents (maketoc) can be broken when headings call plugins (such as ANAME and FOOTNOTE) .
