Thanks! Yeah injecting html in the intermediary document doesn't sound very
promising either (again, because the pages have to be built first before
footnotes updated with page #s) so maybe I'll abandon weasyprint in this
case, if this would be easy to do with a *Tex pdf engine. In that case...
how would one go about this? Would a lua filter be more capable with a
different pdf engine or would a different mechanism be used?
