描述

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).

研究方向
Examine the MarkdownDocSerializer class in the docling codebase, specifically the method handling footnote serialization. Review the current serialization logic versus the desired Markdown footnote syntax. Check any discussion in the comments for alternative approaches or maintainer feedback. Implement the change to produce footnotes using the ^[] format.
