Ben! I updated your plugin a little :)

Hey mate, it's been a long while! I've updated your plugin a little!

Now it not only replaces the footnotes, but it also replaces zotero fields into zotpress fields. I hope you know zotero? It's a bibliography program often used at universities.

So now let's say you wrote a word article with loads of zotero references in the footnotes. Now I copy the entire article into a new wordfile and launch a macro which converts all fields (that is, their code) into plain text. I then mark everything and copy it.
--> THere's room for improvement here, e.g., i extend the word macro a little to also cycle through the entire text and not just the footnotes (it's very easy to do). i use a referencing style which is always in the footnotes.

Then I go to wordpress and paste it. Your plugin already converted the footnotes anyway. The addition now also looks for zotero fields, extracts the relevant ID's and converts them into the zotpress shortcode.

Notes:
1) there's one line: "$content = str_replace("\xc2\xa0",' ',$content);" which is to solve an encoding problem i had between utf8 and iso. for some weird reason, EVERYTHING is utf8 that i see, but the plugin variables somehow are iso. i found no fix, so i'm here just replacing the iso whitespace character so that the regex works properly.
2) i tried to add regex to capture the last horizontal line better, but it's still a bit patchy. word adds a lot of random shite! ;)
3) there's also one to remove empty spaces at the beginning of footnotes.

so, yeah, that's it. if you got a nicer fix for the encoding problem, i'm all ears. at any rate, i'm pretty sure this fix won't interfere, because it always targets the right characters.

ok, that's it. hope you're good! 

greetings.
