Subject: Re: converting links to footnotes... including page number in footnote??

Ok, gotcha! Could you point me to an example of how that page number could
be printed somewhere?
My goal is this, HTML:
<p>Here's text with <a href="/some-blog-post">anchor text</a>.</p>
Becomes a paragraph in the pdf document:
Here's text with anchor text[1].
And then in the footer, is a footnote:
1) See <scripted caption> one page #7.
...where page 7 is the where the /some-blog-post is now located in this pdf.
Does that make sense?
