VimGolfConvert regular pandoc footnotes to in-line notes
Pandoc extends markdown by allowing footnotes, which are usually represented with a footnote identifier followed later in the document by the footnote itself. But Pandoc also allows inline footnotes without identifiers. How many strokes does it take to convert regular footnotes to inline notes? (NB: I've had trouble figuring out whether text-width makes a difference to Vimgolf in comparing the input and output file. I finally tested this locally using the Vimgolf vimrc and did a "gq" on the entire buffer as the last step. Apologies if I'm making a newbie mistake. First time submitter.)

American democracy means, at the very least, majority rule. And Wendell
Phillips was, above all, a democrat. “I plant myself always on
democratic principles," Phillips said in 1865. "I am a democrat,
ingrained, from top to toe.”[^1]
Of course, Phillips could not always be so explicit in calling himself a
democrat, because during his lifetime, the Democratic Party was
committed officially to silencing abolitionists like him. But in
retrospect, few things about Phillips are clearer than that he was a
democrat. In an era when even the Democratic Party committed itself, at
most, to universal white manhood suffrage, Phillips advocated the right
to vote without respect to sex or complexion, and he also publicly
supported the efforts of democratic reformers abroad like the British
Chartists at a time when even male suffrage was still rare and
controversial outside the United States. The abolitionist and Chartist
exile to the United States John C. Cluer, for example, vouched for
Phillips as "a genuine Democrat," and claimed to know that Phillips,
while in England in 1840, had "perilled his popularity by finding his
way into a loft among the Chartists," and speaking and sympathizing with
them, "instead of seeking introductions to the aristocracy."[^2]
A far-sighted advocate for the right to vote, Phillips also planted
himself on the broader democratic principle that the people and "public
opinion" should rule. In an important 1852 speech entitled "Public
Opinion," Phillips even declared that "the people never err." He did not
mean, of course, that every "single verdict which the people of to-day
may record" was right, as he immediately clarified. But he did believe
that "the great democratic tendencies of the masses" moved in the
direction of right, especially over the long run. If, as James Brewer
Stewart notes in his biography, Phillips was born "an offspring of
aristocrats," as a man he became a democrat of democrats.[^3]
[^1]: "Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society Annual Meeting," *Liberator*,
17 February 1865. Phillips made the statement while arguing for
voting rights for freedmen in the South.
[^2]: "Twenty-Ninth Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery
Society," *Liberator*, 31 January 1862. Phillips's longstanding
commitments to the expansion of suffrage are sometimes overlooked
because in the 1840s and 1850s Phillips himself, like many
Garrisonians, refused to vote under a proslavery Constitution. Yet
Phillips's position was much like Garrison, who explained his
support for women's right to vote in 1850 by saying that "I want the
women to have the right to vote, and I call upon them to demand it
perseveringly until they possess it. When they have obtained it, it
will be for them to say whether they will exercise it or not."
Garrison quoted in John L. Thomas, *The Liberator: William Lloyd
Garrison, A Biography* (Boston: Little, Brown, 1963), 372-373; see
also Kraditor, *Means and Ends in American Abolitionism*, 59.
