How to reference two times to a single footnote in rmarkdown?

Question

I try to reference to a single footnote in a few places in the text. However, with the code below, I've got two footnotes with the same content.

---
title: "My document"
output: html_document
---

One part of the text [^1].

Two pages later [^1].

[^1]: My footnote

Is it possible to reference more than once to a specific footnote using rmarkdown?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I used html tags which worked really well. Whatever you want as superscript just put between the <\sup> like below:

<sup> text </sup>
