\subsection{Footnote Test}\label{footnoteux5ftest}

DRAFT

a test of how various footnotes and \href{/another_page}{references} are
handled by \href{http://pandoc.org/README.html}{pandoc} and
\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XeTeX}{XeTeX} after
\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_\%28cricket\%29\#Scoring_runs}{four}
or
\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism\#Law_of_Fives}{five}
or \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon}{six} footnotes are
created (when using \href{http://pandoc.org/README.html}{pandoc} to
generate pdfs set in Quattrocento Sans with XeTeX) and with
\href{/eight}{eight}, \href{/nine}{nine}, \href{/ten}{ten},
\href{/eleven}{eleven}, \href{/twelve}{twelve},
\href{/thirteen}{thirteen} or \href{/fourteen}{fourteen}
(\href{/fifteen}{fifteen}?) footnotes.
