A little citation parsing wrinkle

A little citation parsing wrinkle

Hi,

I've noticed what I think is an unexpected parsing difference for a 
citation which begins a footnote, and which is followed immediately by 
punctuation. This:

[^fn7]: @Eruera1997 . Eruera's text switches freely between English and 
Māori.

is treated differently from this:

[^fn7]: @Eruera1997. Eruera's text switches freely between English and 
Māori.

The latter, when using citeproc and outputting to Word with the SBL style, 
seems to generate a footnote inside the footnote. (The former, 
unsurprisingly, leaves a space between the generated citation and the full 
stop.) By comparison, a similar in-text citation followed immediately by a 
full stop at the very end of a footnote is treated normally.

Lyndon

Oh, this is interesting. I can reproduce with this input:

```
---
references:
- id: Eruera1997
  author: N. Eurera
  title: "My article"
  journal: "My journal"
  type: journal-article
  volume: 55
  date: 1997
...

see[^fn7]
see[^fn8]

[^fn7]: @Eruera1997 . Eruera's text switches freely between English and Māori.

[^fn8]: @Eruera1997. Eruera's text switches freely between English and Māori.

```

Output with pandoc test.md -C -t plain:

```
see[1] see[2]

[1] 1 . Eruera’s text switches freely between English and Māori.

[2]
1.  Eruera’s text switches freely between English and Māori.
```

What's happening here is that the `@Eurera1997` in fn8 is being interpreted as an example list, which causes the `@Eurera1997` in fn7 to be interpreted as a reference to that example list item.

Obviously not what you want. You can defeat this by putting a backslash before the period.

The backslash does indeed fix it. Thank you!
