Beschreibung
Requested feature
Currently, footnotes are serialized as part of MarkdownDocSerializer more or less as-is:
Serialized as:
5 https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract
6 https://github.com/VikParuchuri/surya
7 https://github.com/lukas-blecher/LaTeX-OCR
Alternatives
For downstream LLM-based applications it would be helpful if footnotes were serialized as actual footnotes in Markdown Syntax for the LLM to indentify them as footnotes (and not as a numbered list, for example).
