 * This worked perfectly, link formatting is back! And this:
    `.footnote_tooltip{
   text-indent: 0; }
 * fixed the indenting problem too once I added it to the theme’s custom CSS.
 * I really can’t thank you enough — in barely 24 hours you’ve added a hugely useful
   feature and sorted out two bugs (one new and one old), essentially solving every
   issue I had with the plugin. Tremendous work!

 * Not to worry, I don’t think any of my settings have changed!
 * The “Use the link element for referrers and backlinks” was set to “Yes” as it
   has always been, and I don’t see any evidence of changed settings anywhere else!
 * Two other things I’ve noticed, in case they’re relevant and/or have easy fixes:
 * 1) There is a very large amount of empty space above the reference list generated
   by the shortcode (about 40 px worth). I’ve fixed this by setting the margin of
   the text box with the shortcode in it to -40px, which works fine, but just thought
   I’d let you know.
 * 2) I’ve set some paragraphs on my site to be indented on the first line with 
   the following code in the theme’s Custom CSS:
 * .a {
    text-indent: 5%; }
 * I then put <p class=”a”></p> tags around any paragraphs I want to be indented
   in this way.
 * But I’ve noticed that when footnotes are present in a paragraph indented this
   way, the tooltip is also indented (but thankfully that’s just in the tooltip,
   not the text in the reference container below). It’s a relatively minor issue,
   but I’m not sure how I’d fix it.
 * Thanks again for all your help!

 * Thank you so much for your helpful reply and willingness to implement this feature
   so promptly! You’ve really gone above and beyond.
 * Good news is, it works!
 * A couple of observations that might be helpful for you to refine it:
 * 1) For some reason, the shortcode doesn’t work unless I select “at the end of
   the post” as the Default Position setting, even though the shortcode is present
   in the content. When I have “in the footer” or “in the widget area” selected,
   the references appear in the footer or in my theme’s widget area, and the shortcode
   in the content just appears as itself. However, when I select “at the end of 
   the post”, the shortcode works fine!
 * 2) I’m not sure if this is my doing or related to the 2.2.0 update, but the footnote
   numbers in the body of the text and the backlinks in the reference container 
   are no longer styled according to my theme’s settings for links — they’re just
   styled as ordinary black text (whereas hyperlinks are usually blue and turn grey
   on hover). This is the case whether the reference list is being displayed in 
   the footer, in a widget, or in the shortcode in the post content. I don’t think
   this was the case before the update, but I can’t fully remember … just thought
   I’d mention it. (Either way, it’s a small enough price to pay for the usefulness
   of the shortcode!)
